Anaheim Ducks vs New Jersey Devils Prediction: the Devils’ Progress

Prediction for the NHL Anaheim Ducks vs New Jersey Devils match, which will take place on January 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Anaheim is showing very modest results in the current regular season, being one of the main outsiders of the league. Young guys continue to gain experience in the California team. They should reach a new level in the foreseeable future, solving more serious tasks. In the debut of January, the wards of Dallas Eakins even managed to win two victories over Dallas and San Jose - 2:0 and 5:4, respectively, but then there were two crushing defeats from Boston and Edmonton with a total score of 3:13. So it turns out that Anaheim remains in the penultimate place in the Western Conference standings.

New Jersey is another team that has been a hopeless NHL outsider in recent years, but in the current regular season, the Devils decided they were ready to fight for the playoffs. They played especially powerfully in November, having issued a long winning streak, after which the results began to worsen, but they still managed to look decent at a distance. In the previous six games, the Devils were left without points only once, losing to St. Louis - 3:5, they lost to Carolina – 4:5, and won four more times, rising to fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

In recent years, Anaheim and New Jersey have been among the league's outsiders. Still, the Devils have made progress in the current regular season, reaching the leadership group in the East, but the Ducks are still among the weakest teams in the West. Surprisingly, the Devils play especially well on the road, where they have won the last four games in a row, each time with a difference of at least two goals.

New Jersey has constantly been winning on the road lately and plays great in attack. In the four previous away meetings, the Devils scored 18 goals (4.50 on average per game), which is a decent indicator. Anaheim does not have the most reliable defense to contain the opponent who has gained momentum, so now we have the right to expect high-scoring activity from the Devils.
