MatchupInputs

First-listed goalies on ESPN: Ilya Sorokin for the Islanders and Juuse Saros for the Predators. That listing is not a confirmation.

BooksThe wider market

DraftKings had NSH -122 with the total at 5.5. Strip the vig and that's 52.6% for the Predators.

The model and the books are basically in the same place on this one.

AvailabilityInjuries and availability

ESPN's injury report for the Islanders: Calum Ritchie (lower body, injured reserve) and Matias Maccelli (lower body, injured reserve).

VerdictBottom line

Honest pass. The Predators were the better side on the model, but -0.4¢ at the ask is under the 3.0¢ bar. Below the bar, spread and noise eat most of the edge, so passing is the call.
