New Jersey’s 5-2 win back on February 18th, 2023, made it four straight wins for the Devils in this head-to-head matchup.
Trends
Pittsburgh is 1-5 in their last 6 road games and 0-4 in their last 4 games following a win while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 division games. New Jersey is 9-1 in their last 10 division games and 0-4 in their last 4 Tuesday games while the under is 3-0-1 in their last 4 division games.
Pick
I’m backing the Penguins here. New Jersey’s a solid team, but they’re a lot more desirable on the road and I wasn’t a fan of how the Devils looked against Winnipeg in their last game. The Penguins need the wins to keep their names in the running for an Eastern Conference wild card spot and I think they get it with a win in this one.
