Play: New York Islanders
Rating: 8/10*

I'm going with the New York Islanders here in Monday's matchup with the Nashville Predators. The Islanders must be desperate for a win home at Barclays Center after dropping four in a row in front of the home town crowd. They're coming off a 2-1 home loss to Boston on Saturday but 8-2 in their last 10 after scoring two goals or fewer in their previous game. They'll host a Predators team that has won six of its last seven and defeated San Jose 7-2 on Saturday, but note that the Preds are just 9-25 in their last 34 after scoring five goals or more in their previous game and 1-4 in the last five meetings with the Islanders.
