New York Islanders @ Nashville Predators Preview

The New York Islanders enter this game on a two-game winning streak, including a dominant 4-1 victory over the Washington Capitals. Bo Horvat and Jean-Gabriel Pageau have been key contributors, while goaltender Ilya Sorokin has been stellar, stopping 28 shots in his last outing. The Islanders are clinging to playoff hopes and will look to capitalize on the struggling Predators.

On the other hand, the Nashville Predators are in the midst of a six-game losing streak, with their most recent defeat being a 2-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Filip Forsberg has been the lone bright spot for the Predators, leading the team with 70 points this season. However, Nashville's offense has struggled, scoring just one goal in each of their last two games. Goaltender Juuse Saros has been under pressure, with a 2.97 GAA and .895 save percentage this season.

The Islanders are in better form, coming off back-to-back wins and showing strong offensive and defensive performances. With Ilya Sorokin in net and the Predators struggling to generate offense, the Islanders are well-positioned to secure a victory. Backing the Islanders on the moneyline at -125 offers solid value.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Bo Horvat Anytime Goalscorer (+180)

Bo Horvat has been a key offensive contributor for the Islanders, with 26 goals this season. Given Nashville's defensive struggles, Horvat is a strong candidate to find the back of the net.

2. Filip Forsberg Over 0.5 Points (-)

Despite Nashville's struggles, Filip Forsberg remains their most consistent offensive threat. He has 70 points this season and is likely to contribute if the Predators manage to score.

3. Ilya Sorokin Over 27.5 Saves (-)

Sorokin has been a reliable presence in net for the Islanders, and with Nashville averaging 27.9 shots per game, he should have plenty of opportunities to rack up saves.
