Game review

The New York Islanders beat the Nashville Predators 4-3 in overtime on October 27. New York built a two-goal lead after the first period, but the game swung when Nashville answered with two in the second and tied it in the third before the Islanders finished it in overtime.

Filip Forsberg led Nashville with a goal, an assist and two points. Brayden Schenn scored for New York, and Simon Holmstrom added an assist. The Islanders’ 21 blocked shots, 23 hits and 58.9 percent faceoff win rate helped them control stretches, while Nashville’s 19 giveaways helped New York hold on. Nashville scored on one of five power plays, and New York went 0-for-5 with the man advantage.

For bettors, the closing spread of Predators -1.5 meant the Islanders covered by 2.5. The closing total of 5.5 went over by 1.5.
