First-place Nashville is a defensive powerhouse again, second in the league in goals allowed and sixth in penalty killing. Goalie Pekka Rinne has yielded just two goals so far in Nashville's 3-0-0 start. Rinne finished 1:41 shy of back-to-back shutouts in a 3-1 win over New Jersey, the opener to a three-game road trip. Nashville is 10-4-2 UNDER the total on the road, as well as 24-7-6 UNDER when the Predators face a team with a losing record. They head to New York to take on a talented Islanders squad that hasn't got going on offense yet, ranked #17 in goals scored and on the power play. The defense has been strong, coming off a 4-2 win and on a 4-1 run UNDER the total, plus 5-1-1 UNDER against the Western Conference. Take this one to finish UNDER.
