Welcome, sports fans! We've got an upcoming NHL clash between the New York Islanders and the Nashville Predators that's proving to be a hot topic amongst bettors. The Islanders are currently on a 2-game win streak, while the Predators seem to be in a slump, having lost their last 6 games.

Looking at the standings, the Islanders are seated comfortably at the fifth position with 34 wins and 32 losses. Their home record is a respectable 19-15, while their away record is a little less impressive at 15-17. They've scored a total of 210 points and have had 231 points scored against them.

On the other hand, the Predators are languishing at the seventh position, with a more gloomy stats sheet. They've managed only 27 wins against a whopping 42 losses. Their home record is evenly balanced at 18-17, but the real concern lies in their away record, which stands at a dismal 9-25. The Predators have scored 192 points and have conceded a hefty 252.

Moving onto the power ratings, the Islanders possess a power rating of 98.68, with a win percentage of 0.447, backed by a points differential of -0.28.

This clearly shows the Predators' struggle this season, especially in terms of scoring and defense.

The game odds are indicating a slight advantage for the Islanders. They stand at -1.5 on the Asian handicap, with the Predators at +1.5.

In conclusion, while the Islanders' away record isn't exactly awe-inspiring, their current form and the Predators' ongoing losing streak tip the scales in their favor.
