The 2019–20 New York Islanders season was the 48th season in the franchise's history.[2] It was their fifth season in the Barclays Center in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, which they moved into after leaving Nassau Coliseum in Nassau County on Long Island at the conclusion of the 2014–15 season. During the regular season, the Islanders were scheduled to play 21 home games at Nassau Coliseum but on September 23 moved seven more games from the Barclays Center, making it a total of 28 games to be played at Nassau Coliseum.[3] On February 29, 2020, it was announced that the Islanders would play their last game at Barclays Center on March 22, and then would move to Nassau Coliseum permanently.[4][5][6]

The season was suspended by the league officials on March 12, 2020, after several other professional and collegiate sports organizations followed suit as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[7][8] On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with the remaining games being cancelled.[9] The Islanders advanced from the Qualifying Round where they defeated the Florida Panthers in four games. They would then defeat the Washington Capitals in five games in the First Round. They faced off against the Philadelphia Flyers in the Second Round, defeating them in seven games and advanced to the Conference Finals for the first time since 1993. However, the Islanders went on to lose to the Tampa Bay Lightning in six games, ending their playoff run. The Islanders set a league record for most games played (22) by a conference finalist.
