After missing the postseason in 2022, the Islanders are back and ready to compete for the Stanley Cup once again this year.
Starting Monday, April 17, Lane Lambert’s Islanders will take on the No. 1 seed Carolina Hurricanes in the first round of the NHL playoffs.
And the team will need all the support from Islanders faithful they can muster when they play at their home UBS Arena in Games three, four and six.
Although they have a few things working in their favor like a strong finish to the regular season and an injury to Hurricanes’ star forward Andrei Svechnikov keeping him out of the series, the fans will have to give stars Ilya Sorokin, Bo Horvat and the returning Mathew Barzal all they’ve got if they want to advance.
Thankfully, fans can still pick up tickets to root on the Islanders on their home ice for reasonable prices.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we found on tickets was $124 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Not bad considering ticket prices start at $277 before fees at Madison Square Garden for the Rangers-Devils series.

In mid-March, the Hurricanes stopped into New York for a home-and-home against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden and their home PNC Arena.
The series was a wash — the Hurricanes won 3-2 on March 21 and the Rangers came out on top with a 2-1 victory on March 23.
