Thank you for all the responses. That cleared up the mystery!
If you do look into an Islander's game at the Barclay's Center, keep in mind that at one end of the arena, you do need to check to determine whether you'll be able to see the end of the rink (and the goal) that should be right down there in front of you, because with some seats you can't.
(The arena was designed to fit a basketball court, but it's not large enough for standard seating at a hockey game.)
