Calgary Flames vs. New Jersey Devils Predictions
The Flames are coming into this game with a two-game winning streak, having recently secured a confidence-boosting 4-1 victory over the Boston Bruins. Calgary’s offense is led by center Nazem Kadri, who tops the team with 42 points, and Blake Coleman, who has netted 20 goals this season. The Flames will be looking to maintain their momentum and capitalize on their recent defensive solidity, having allowed only one goal in their last 120 minutes of play.
On the other side, the New Jersey Devils are looking to build on their recent 5-3 win against the Colorado Avalanche. With the return of center Jack Hughes, who has been sidelined since early January, the Devils are hoping for a boost in their offensive play. Winger Jesper Bratt, leading the team with 52 points, has been a consistent threat and will be a key player to watch in this matchup. The Devils have shown strength as favorites this season and will aim to leverage their home-ice advantage to secure another win.
This game is not just about the current season’s statistics; it’s also a chance for the Flames to avenge their previous loss to the Devils, who took the victory in their last meeting with a 4-2 scoreline. As both teams vie for a crucial win to propel them further in the playoff race, key matchups like Coleman against the Devils’ defense and the Flames’ goaltending against New Jersey’s attackers will be decisive in determining the outcome of this exciting game.
Calgary Flames vs. New Jersey Devils Pick
The stage is set for an offensive showdown as the Calgary Flames visit the New Jersey Devils. With the Flames coming off a strong performance against the Bruins and the Devils looking to capitalize on their home-ice advantage, the stage is set for a high-scoring affair. The Flames have been finding the back of the net with ease, led by the likes of Nazem Kadri and Blake Coleman, while the Devils’ Jesper Bratt continues to be a consistent point producer. Considering the Flames’ recent defensive form and the Devils’ offensive prowess, especially with the return of Jack Hughes, the over on a total line of 6.5 seems like a promising bet.
Historically, these two teams have shown the potential for high-scoring games, with the over hitting once in their last three encounters.
