Evgeni Nabokov sticked aside 28 shots in the Islanders' 3-2 loss to the Predators on Saturday night. Nabokov allowed two goals in the second period and one in the third. He's not playing behind the most dependable defensive corp, so he'll often be called upon to be the difference for the Isles, who should score more than enough goals this season. Nobokov has a 2.17 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage.
