Devils vs Canadiens Prediction

The Canadiens are worth a look in the plus money role with the way they’re racking up the points, but I’m still going to give the Devils the edge at home, where they have yet to lose this season. The Devils have also won four straight against the Habs and seven of the last nine meetings overall. Coming back from a four-game road trip, the Devils have to be thrilled to be back in their own bed and in the building where they’ve played their best hockey. Give me the Devils on their home ice.
