The Nashville Predators have been on fire recently and will look to continue their hot streak in the Big Apple when they face the New York Islanders. The Preds are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games and opened as the favorite vs the Islanders, who have dropped three of their last four games at home.
- The total has gone UNDER in six of the Predators’ last eight games vs teams with losing records.
- The Islanders are 1-5 SU in their last six games at home after winning their most recent home game.
- Nashville is 10-3 ATS in its last 13 games.
The New York Islanders are an exciting team to watch and rank in the top five in goals per game. But for every goal they score, it seems they let one back in just as quickly. The Isles are dead last in the NHL in goals allowed per game and have allowed 12 goals in their last three games.
If Islanders backers are looking for any positive trend, they should note New York is 6-2 SU in the last eight games in this matchup and outscored the Predators 27-18 in those games.
The Predators’ recent surge has brought them back to third in the Western Conference. Nashville has been lights-out on the defensive end during this stretch and has only allowed four goals in its last four games. On the offensive end, other forwards will need to pick up the scoring slack with Filip Forsberg (38 points in 39 games) suspended for the next three games.
The total opened at 6 for this tilt and an OVER is usually a decent wager with New York involved. The Islanders’ offensive and defensive efforts have been noted and the OVER has hit in six of their last eight games when hosting teams with winning records. The OVER has also hit in five of the last seven games in this matchup.
