The Nashville Predators began their Eastern Conference road trip on Monday night. The New York Islanders were waiting in the Barclays Center and were hoping for another goal explosion like the last time they met the Predators. They got it. They also got a heck of a fight from the defending Western Conference Champions.
First Period
The Islanders go on the power play at 3:04 when Mattias Ekholm interferes with John Tavares. They had a good chance just before the PP, and they capitalize at 4:55 when Tavares puts it in the net.
