New Jersey Devils vs Carolina Hurricanes: Hurricanes won't lose

Prediction for the NHL New Jersey Devils vs Carolina Hurricanes match, which will take place on April 23. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

New Jersey has been uncompetitive in the current regular season. The team had been in last place all season, without a single hint of a comeback. In 77 games, they have amassed 61 points, 36 fewer than Washington, who finished in the top four in the Metropolitan Division. In their last two games, New Jersey somehow miraculously beat Vegas 2:3 but then lost by three goals to Buffalo (2:5).

Carolina is battling with the Rangers for first place in the Metropolitan Division. They have the same number of points, so if the Hurricanes want to make the playoffs in the first place, they will have to win their duel with New Jersey. In the meantime, the Rangers will face Boston, where they could lose a point. In the last two meetings, Carolina beat Arizona (5:2) and Winnipeg (4:2) without too much trouble.

New Jersey has no chance for points in the upcoming game. The Hurricanes still have weighted tournament motivation, which will play a big part in this meeting.

New Jersey has been highly disappointing to its audience of late. Even for an outsider, five defeats in a row in front of their stands are awful. That tells us that, even with the support of the Devils fans, they have some doubts about their chances. We suggest not making things up and playing for a clean win for the second team.
