The New York Islanders will be returning to their old barn full time for the 2020-21 campaign.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Saturday that the club will play its entire 2020-21 schedule, and any home playoff games this season, at Nassau Coliseum.

Former Islanders owner Charles Wang moved the franchise's home games to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in 2015. In 2017, Cuomo arranged for the club to share home contests between the two locations.

The 2020-21 campaign is expected to be the Islanders' last season before they move into their new home at Belmont Park, which is currently under construction.

Nassau Coliseum was originally opened in 1972 and has undergone numerous renovations in recent years.
