The Nashville Predators' recent struggles continued as they fell 7-4 to the New York Islanders, marking their seventh loss in the last ten games. A disastrous first period saw the Islanders dominate, outshooting the Predators 19-3 and establishing a 3-0 lead. J.G. Pageau initiated the scoring, followed by Kyle Palmieri and Bo Horvat, who netted goals before the period ended.

Despite a brief resurgence with Colton Sissons scoring early in the second, Brock Nelson quickly responded with a short-handed goal. Additional goals from Sissons and Marc Del Gaizo, who scored his first NHL goal, highlighted the match's competitive spirit, but ultimately, the Predators could not recover from the early deficit.
