Trends
New Jersey is 7-2 in their last 9 games overall and 19-8 in their last 27 road games while the over is 3-0-1 in their last 4 Friday games. Dallas is 6-2 in their last 8 Friday games and 2-5 in their last 7 games played on 1 days rest while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600.
Pick
I’m backing the under in this one. These are two solid defenses and while the Devils gave up a pile of goals on Thursday, I think a lot of that had to do with MacKenzie Blackwood starting between the pipes for the Devils. Vanecek should be good to go here and I think this is a first to 3 wins kind of game. Give me the under here.
