The Islanders have a resurfaced emblem of locker-room affection, and it was ripped from the annals of the late 1990s.

Or at least that’s the guess.

A button-up varsity jacket, dark-blue and orange, possibly leather, was over the shoulders of captain John Tavares as he did his television interview following a 5-2 win over the Coyotes on Tuesday night at Barclays Center. The jacket — which for now remains unnamed — was making its first appearance this season after it was bought by defenseman Johnny Boychuk last year, the Islanders joining the many teams that hand out a player-chosen award after each victory.

Boychuk said he paid, well, a princely sum for the relic on eBay, where its original owner had a classic turquoise “Eastern Conference” logo stitched onto the left arm. Yet it disappeared for a while in preparation for the move to Brooklyn, and has only now reemerged.

“Oh, it’s a beauty,” said Tavares, who was also celebrating his own bobble-head giveaway night.

Forward Mikhail Grabovski did not come out for the third period, the team saying he had an upper-body injury.

“I don’t have an update,” coach Jack Capuano said. “I should know more [Tuesday].”

Kyle Okposo had three assists, taking his career total to 200.

“I think you just think of all that stuff when your career is over,” said the American-born Okposo, the Islanders’ first-round pick (No. 7 overall) in 2006 who played his first NHL game during the 2007-08 season. “I don’t really think about it too much. Just a number. I want to go out there and play as well as I can.”

Veteran defenseman Marek Zidlicky, 38, was back in the lineup and played career game No. 800.

Zidlicky had been a healthy scratch for Friday night’s 4-1 win in Anaheim, the second leg of a back-to-back, in favor of rookie Adam Pelech, who played his first NHL game. Although Capuano said Pelech “played a great game, obviously, he’s going to continue to play games for us,” Zidlicky went back and paired with Brian Strait , and they had a very tough night.

“He’s an offensive-minded guy,” Capuano said of Zidlicky. “He’s a cagey player, a veteran guy that understands the game. For me, he’s still learning the system that we play, but at the end of the day, he’s helped our hockey club.”
