Both teams are wild card hopefuls (and current holders) in their respective conferences, and coming off bounce-back wins. While the Islanders traveled to begin this road trip after beating the Maple Leafs Thursday night, the Predators are on a back-to-back, having beaten the Stars in Dallas on Friday.
Lines and D-pairs from last game remain the same. Wahlstrom on Horvat’s right wing. Barzal in between Holmstrom and Palmieri. Pageau with Martin and Clutterbuck.
