Islanders seek fourth straight win against visiting Predators

Under head coach Barry Trotz, the New York Islanders reached the NHL semifinals in 2020 and 2021 - the deepest playoff trips for the Islanders since their run of five straight trips to the Stanley Cup Final ended in 1984.

On Saturday night, Trotz, now the Nashville Predators' general manager, will get to see what is shaping up to be the best Islanders team since his departure when New York hosts the Predators in Elmont, N.Y.

Both teams were off Friday after playing in the New York area Thursday night.
