Nashville at New York

Nashville is off to another strong start, topping the Rangers on the road, 3-2. They are top 10 in the league in goals scored and allowed. Last season Nashville had 117 points, winning the Presidents' Trophy. They didn't make any major changes for this campaign as it looks like a Stanley Cup contender again. The Predators have the best top-four defensmen in the NHL in P.K. Subban, Roman Josi, Ryan Ellis and Mattias Ekholm. Nashville is 73-43 against a team with a winning record and faces a rebuilding N.Y. Islanders squad that has missed the playoffs the last two years and John Tavares left to sign with Toronto. The Islanders are 22-41 at home off a road win against a division rival and the visitors are superior in talent, experience and balance. Play Nashville.
