Things aren't going well for Anaheim at the moment. The Ducks have a lot of problems, especially with their performance. In 35 games, they've only scored 88 pucks, which is the worst in the West. In the overall conference standings, they're only in 13th position with 32 points, so it's hard to see how they'll make it to the wild card. After the break, Greg Cronin's team lost to Philadelphia 1-3, but the day before they surprisingly played a great game against Edmonton (5-3).

New Jersey's campaign's going well. The Devils have won 24 games and failed 15, which gives them 51 points and puts them at the top of the Eastern Conference standings. It's also worth mentioning that the Devils have been pretty solid throughout the season. They started in Prague with a win, and since then, they haven't had any major setbacks. Sheldon Keefe's team have won six of their past eight games. After the break, New Jersey played Carolina twice - first they won 4-2, but then they lost 2-5.

We're not convinced Anaheim will triumph in the next challenge. New Jersey's campaign's going great, the team's stable and setting the highest goals for themselves. The Devils have been on a roll too, with six wins in eight. On the flip side, the Ducks are struggling on the offensive, and Gibson, McGinn and Zegras are all key players on the injured list. So, we're not just making this up, we're going with the visitors to win.
