Islanders vs. Predators prediction, odds and best bet for Oct. 27, 2026

The Nashville Predators are favored to beat the New York Islanders on Tuesday, according to Dimers' NHL pregame model.

Our Islanders vs. Predators prediction gives Nashville a 53.2% chance of winning at Bridgestone Arena, with the latest odds also suggesting value in betting on the Predators to cover the -1.5 puck line.

Islanders vs. Predators: Key predictions

• Predators win probability: 53.2%
• Islanders win probability: 46.8%
• Islanders +1.5 puck line: 68.6% cover probability
• Over 5.5 goals: 52.4% probability

Dimers' NHL pregame model estimates how many goals each team is likely to score, accounting for factors such as recent form, shooting and save percentages, home-ice advantage, and rest.

These projections power our NHL predictions, which show the probability of each team winning, covering the puck line, and the total goals going over or under the betting line.

Islanders vs. Predators odds

Here are the best available odds across the moneyline, puck line, and total goals markets monitored by Dimers.

• Islanders moneyline: 48¢ (Novig)
• Predators moneyline: 53¢ (Novig)
• Islanders +1.5: 70¢ (Novig)
• Predators -1.5: 30¢ (Novig)
• Over 5.5 goals: 53¢ (Novig)

Odds are subject to change and may vary by location.

Best value bet: Predators -1.5 (30¢)

With Nashville favored to beat New York, Dimers' top value bet is the Predators to cover the -1.5 puck line at 30¢, available at Novig.

Those odds imply the Predators have a 30.0% chance of covering the spread, while our model puts that probability at 31.4%.

That's a 1.4% edge in the Predators' favor, the largest across the moneyline, puck line, and total goals markets based on Dimers' probabilities and the best available odds.
