New Jersey has won five straight. Winnipeg scores under three goals a game. And the Devils are only laying -154? Give me Jersey.
The Matchup
- The Devils keep finding wins. Five straight, including 4-0 in Toronto and three that went past regulation. Jack Hughes has 25 points, 16 of them assists. Jersey puts almost 34 shots on net a game and allows fewer than 25.
- Winnipeg is short-handed. Josh Morrissey is on injured reserve. The Jets score under three goals a game and give up three and a half. Kyle Connor has 13 goals, and the Jets have won three straight, so they’re not dead.
- Puck drop. 7:00 PM ET at Canada Life Centre.
The Number
Our numbers have the Devils winning about 69% of the time. The price says closer to 58%. That’s real daylight. What scares me: Jersey’s penalty kill stops barely two of every three power plays, and if Winnipeg gets a bunch of chances, this tightens up fast.
Bottom Line
Take the Devils on the moneyline at . The hottest team on the slate against a club that can’t score. It lands on the receipts page win or lose. Confirm the starting goalies before puck drop.
Same-Game Parlay
The angleJersey wins, and Kyle Connor doesn't get many looks against a team that gives up fewer than 25 shots a game.
