Predators vs. Islanders Prediction

I’m on the Predators here. I get the case to be made for the Islanders at home here as they’re still trying to nail down a playoff spot and have won three straight, but the Predators for my money are the more trustworthy team, they’ve owned this matchup on a double-digit head-to-head win streak, and have played their best hockey on the road all year long. I think the Predators get it done here. Give me Nashville.
