New Jersey Devils vs Boston Bruins Prediction: Who will be stronger in this game?

Prediction for the NHL New Jersey Devils vs Boston Bruins match, which will take place on December 24. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Devils beat Florida 4:2 on the road in their previous game. Still, before that, they had lost six games in a row, failing to win Florida, Carolina, Dallas, Philadelphia, the Islanders, and the Rangers. The team has slowed down a bit and dropped to fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings. This disappointing stretch served as a reminder that New Jersey while making substantial progress this season, is still a very young team that has difficulty walking the distance of the championship stably.

The Bruins grabbed the lead in the East at the beginning of the championship and remain the best team in the conference today. Moreover, the gap between the group and its nearest pursuer is already 3.5 wins. That's a big handicap, considering that Boston has hardly ever lost.

In their last game, the Bruins beat Winnipeg (3:2) and won five of their previous six games.

Devils aren't performing very well lately - six losses in seven games. The unpleasant trend for New Jersey may continue in the matchup with Boston. The Bruins have played some championship hockey in the first half of the league and hardly ever lost. The team could use the extra motivation due to their matchup status - a meeting against one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference.
