The stats—fancy and working-class—from last night's game between the Nashville Predators and the New York Islanders showed a decidedly one-sided affair in almost every category except in the only one that mattered: goals scored.
The Isles came away with a 4-3 victory over the previously undefeated Preds after surviving an opening 25 minutes of game time that saw the listless and generally overmatched Isles just kind of skating around, while Nashville racked up all manner of shots on goal and jumped out to a 2-0 lead.
