New York Rangers vs. New Jersey Devils Prediction

I’m on the Devils here. I want to take a shot on the Rangers, but one win over a reeling Toronto team doesn’t change the fact that the Rangers have openly admitted to their plans to rebuild here. The Devils aren’t world-beaters, but they’re good enough to pick up the win on home ice where they have been better for much of the season. Give me the Devils.
