Predators vs Islanders Prediction

We’re getting the more favorable price with the Islanders, who may have issues stringing together positive results but consistently show up on the defensive end. The Predators are going through a rough patch, and they’ve scored two or fewer goals in five of their last seven games. I doubt this is the game where the Predators find their footing. I’ll grab the slightly better price with the Islanders on the road, but it’s a fade of the Preds more than anything else.
