Islanders vs. Predators Prediction: Nashville’s Special Teams Give It an Edge
Analysis updated October 27, 2026 at 1:15 AM CDT
The Predators are the likelier winner, but their -122 moneyline is not attractive enough without a confirmed starting goalie or settled New York defensive pairings.
Prediction
Nashville’s special teams are the clearest reason to favor the Predators. New York Islanders / NHL.com reported that Nashville entered Tuesday ranked third in the NHL on the power play at 33.3% and fifth on the penalty kill at 85.7%. The Predators are -122 at home, while the Islanders are +102.
The same preview listed Juuse Saros as Nashville’s likely starter after Justus Annunen played Sunday, but Saros was not confirmed. Islanders coach Pete DeBoer also had not settled his defensive pairings after Monday’s practice. Those uncertainties make Nashville the likelier winner without making its moneyline a worthwhile bet.
Matchup and Betting Outlook
The Associated Press, reporting through ABC News / Associated Press, listed Mathew Barzal, Matias Maccelli, Calum Ritchie and Alexander Romanov as unavailable for New York. Nashville defenseman William Trudeau was also listed unavailable. The Islanders kept the same forward lines used in Sunday’s 6-3 loss at Dallas, which ended their five-game point streak.
Nashville entered 4-3-4 overall and 2-2-1 at home. New York was 5-4-2 overall and 1-2-1 on the road, with 32 goals scored and 28 allowed. Those early records do not justify laying -122 amid the lineup uncertainty, so the moneyline call is a pass. The total is 5.5, but the available evidence does not support a wager on either side.
