Why the Devils Will Beat the Penguins

• The Devils have won each of their last six road games against the Penguins.
• The Penguins have lost seven of their last eight day games against Eastern Conference opponents.
• The Penguins have failed to cover the puck line in each of their last four day games at PPG Paints Arena following a home win.
• The Devils have covered the puck line in five of their last six games at PPG Paints Arena.
• The Devils have won the first period in each of their last four games as road favorites.

Penguins vs Devils Prediction

The Devils have lost three of the last four games started by Markstorm, but that win came in the last game, and this is a perfect bounce-back spot. The Devils have been the strength all season, giving up only 2.52 goals per game., The Penguins have been picking it up the last few games, but don’t let that fool you, their offense hasn’t been that good overall. The goaltending is going to be good for the Devils. The Devils are 6-0 in their last six games against a team with a losing record. Back the Devils on the money line.
