Predators vs. Islanders Prediction and Pick
The stats need to be mostly thrown out the window for the Islanders at this point of the season. The team had to play 16-straight road games to start the season, and then they had to deal with an outbreak of COVID-19.
Regardless, it's hard for me to totally trust this team until they can show me that they can play at a high level again.
Nashville may not have a lot of offensive power, but it continues to be one of the top defensive teams in the league. The Preds allow the second fewest high danger scoring chances per 60 minutes of even strength hockey at 8.68. Even on a good day, the Islanders can struggle to generate offense, and now they face one of the better defensive teams in the NHL.
