After 11 games in their new Brooklyn home, the Islanders rank next-to-last in the NHL with an average of 12,157 in paid attendance per game, ahead of only the Carolina Hurricanes' 11,227.

They also are third from last in average percentage of capacity at 76.9, ahead of only the Hurricanes [60.1] and Florida Panthers [75.3]. Barclays Center's hockey capacity is listed at 15,795.

Monday's 5-2 victory over the Arizona Coyotes marked the seventh time in 11 home dates the Islanders have drawn fewer than 12,000.
