New Jersey Devils vs. Nashville Predators Predictions

The New Jersey Devils are coming off a morale-boosting 3-1 victory against the Seattle Kraken, looking to build on that success as they face the Nashville Predators. The Devils have been inconsistent lately, but their recent win, powered by Tyler Toffoli’s 22nd goal of the season and Jesper Bratt’s team-leading 55 points, could be the spark they need. With a road record of 14-9-2, the Devils have shown they can perform away from home, but they’ll need to be at their best against a Predators team that has been strong at Bridgestone Arena with a 14-13-0 home record.

Nashville, on the other hand, is riding the momentum of a recent overtime victory against the Arizona Coyotes. The Predators’ offense is led by Filip Forsberg, who has netted 25 goals this season, and their defensive stalwart Roman Josi, who has contributed 36 assists. Nashville’s power play has been a point of concern, but their recent performance suggests they might be turning a corner. The Predators will be looking to continue their push for a playoff spot in the Western Conference, where they currently sit just outside the wild card positions.

This matchup features a battle between the Devils’ offense, which will need to overcome the Predators’ defense that has been tightening up as of late. Key player matchups to watch include the Devils’ Jack Hughes, who has been a consistent threat on the ice, against the Predators’ goaltender Juuse Saros, whose performance could be the difference-maker. With both teams fighting for every point available, expect a closely contested game with playoff implications on the line.

New Jersey Devils vs. Nashville Predators Pick

The New Jersey Devils and Nashville Predators have a history of high-scoring games, with the over hitting three times in their last four meetings. This trend, combined with the current over/under line set at 6.5 and the Devils’ recent performance of hitting 31 overs this season, suggests that another high-scoring affair is likely. The Devils’ offense, led by Jesper Bratt and Tyler Toffoli, has been productive, especially on the road where they have hit 14 overs. Nashville’s ability to score, with Filip Forsberg leading the charge, adds to the potential for a game where the scoreboard gets a workout.

Despite the Predators’ recent defensive improvements, the Devils’ aggressive play and the Predators’ need to keep pace in the playoff race should result in both teams pushing the tempo. The Devils’ recent victory against the Kraken and the Predators’ overtime win against the Coyotes have set the stage for a confident offensive display from both sides. Considering these factors, along with the Devils’ tendency to go over the total on the road and the Predators’ balanced scoring, the over is a compelling pick for this matchup.

The Pick: Over 6.5 -105 (DraftKings)
