Ilya Sorokin · 0.906 SV%
The preseason ratings make Nashville Predators 54.0% to win at home: barely a lean at all, worth 4.0 points over a coin flip, which grades C. Over a full season those same ratings project NSH for 93 points and NYI for 94.
The model leaned Nashville Predators at 54.0%.
PuckCast had Nashville Predators at 54.0% to win this game on Tue, Oct 27. The matchup detail follows.
NYI controlled play at 5v5 last season, 50.5% of the expected goals to 47.8%.
In goal, neither team has named a starter. Last season Ilya Sorokin (NYI) saved -6.3 goals above expected to Juuse Saros's -28.0, on save percentages of 0.906 and 0.894.
None of that is the model read. This is a rating-and-home-ice forecast; the full prediction, with confirmed goalies, rest and form, priced against the market, publishes inside the seven days before puck drop and replaces these numbers. Nashville Predators over New York Islanders is where it starts, not where it ends.
No sportsbook has posted a price for this game yet. Prices usually appear roughly a week before puck drop.
No starter is named this far out. These are each side’s projected starters on the current roster, with last season’s numbers.
