Islanders vs Predators Key Stats

New York have done well while scoring and have maintained a league average of more than 3 goals scored per game. A combination of Brock Nelson and Mathew Barzal have worked for them this season, with 18 goals invlovements each.

They need to tighten their defense, which has put goaltenders under a lot of pressure, who otherwise have been brilliant. The goaltenders have helped the team to not concede more than 3 goals per game and will have an important role in this game too.

Nashville has been poor in scoring, with 2.6 goals per game on average this season. Filip Forsberg has played above average and will have a huge role to play in the all-important next game.

Their defense has conceded more than three goals per game, with the goaltenders having to make over 470 saves this season. Even after having a save percentage of 0.9011, they have failed to transform it into a positive result and will need to work on every aspect of it going forward this season.

Islanders vs Predators Betting Prediction

New York have played better than Nashville and are better placed to win this game. They are 4-0 in their last 4 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game. They have played better on the road, which adds to their advantage.

Nashville are 8-17 in their last 25 overall and are 3-8 in their last 11 games playing on 1 day's rest. They will be under a lot of pressure in this game, and even though they have played better in their last few games, they will find it difficult to win this game.
