Islanders vs. Predators Prediction and Odds: Both Teams Looking for Third Straight Win
An action-packed day of NHL action on Saturday begins with a matinee matchup between the New York Islanders and the Nashville Predators.
Both teams enter the interconference matchup on a two-game win streak. The Predators took down the Minnesota Wild last weekend, and then followed it up with a 3-1 victory against the Sharks on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Islanders enter today’s game coming off two straight shutouts. They blanked the Arizona Coyotes and Golden Knights in back-to-back games.
The Islanders continue their 13-game road trip today. Their first home game in their new stadium, the UBS Arena, is scheduled for November 20th. It would be a huge achievement for the Islanders if they can finish their road trip with a .500 record.
