New Jersey Devils vs. Edmonton Oilers Predictions

The New Jersey Devils are riding a three-game winning streak as they prepare to take on the Edmonton Oilers, who have been on a tear with six consecutive victories. The Devils, currently 10th in the Eastern Conference, have been finding success on the road with a 9-4-0 record, while the Oilers have been defending their home ice with a 7-4-1 record at Rogers Place. Both teams are looking to extend their winning streaks, but only one will come out on top in this Eastern vs. Western Conference clash.

Star players have been pivotal for both teams, with the Devils’ Jack Hughes (33 points) and the Oilers’ Connor McDavid (34 points) leading their respective squads. McDavid, alongside Leon Draisaitl, has been a consistent offensive threat for the Oilers, while the Devils have seen strong performances from Hughes and Tyler Toffoli. Defensively, both teams have had their struggles, but recent games have shown improvements that they will look to carry into this matchup.

Key player match-ups to watch include the faceoff between the Devils’ goaltender, likely Vitek Vanecek, and the Oilers’ Stuart Skinner, who has been impressive during the Oilers’ winning streak. Special teams could also play a significant role, with the Oilers’ power play being one of the most potent in the league. The Devils will need to maintain discipline and capitalize on their own man-advantage opportunities to secure a win in what promises to be an exciting and closely contested game.

New Jersey Devils vs. Edmonton Oilers Pick

The matchup between the New Jersey Devils and the Edmonton Oilers presents a compelling case for the ‘Under’ bet. Despite both teams having potent offensive capabilities, recent trends suggest a tilt towards a tighter, more defensively focused game. The Oilers have been on a six-game winning streak, largely due to improved defensive play and goaltending, with Stuart Skinner posting a 1.82 goals-against average during this stretch. Similarly, the Devils have been strong on the road, and their goaltending has been solid, with Vitek Vanecek likely to start and bring his consistent performance into this game. Additionally, the total line is set at 6.5, which is a high threshold that requires both teams to be firing on all cylinders offensively, something that may not happen given the current form and stakes of the game.

Historically, the head-to-head matchups have seen three ‘Overs’ in the last four games, but the most recent encounter resulted in an ‘Under’ with the Devils winning 5-2. The Devils’ disciplined play, highlighted by their recent games where they were not penalized, could limit the Oilers’ chances on the power play, where they are most dangerous. Furthermore, both teams are on winning streaks, which could lead to a more cautious approach to maintain their momentum. Considering these factors, along with the high total line and the current defensive form of both teams, the ‘Under’ seems to be the more prudent pick for this game.
