The Devils faced Tampa Bay for the third time last week in the previous game. This time Lindy Ruff's team, which lost both matches to the Lightning, played with a powerful competitor away and won. New Jersey missed two goals by the 27th minute but then got five unanswered goals to the Lightning - Jesper Bratt scored a hat trick, and Niko Hisher and Nolan Foot scored a goal each. 5-2 is a great victory for the Devils, although the season series is still, what is essential, left for Tampa Bay.

The Wild hosted Washington on their ice in the previous match. Before that, Dean Evasson's team had a crushing defeat to Boston (2-5), also at home, so they especially needed a victory. The class of Minnesota is higher today than that of the Capitals, so the Wild confidently achieved success – 5:3. In the absence of the injured Kirill Kaprizov, Matthew Baldy became the leader, who scored a hat-trick. Ryan Reeves and Brandon Duhaime also scored goals. Minnesota has once again confirmed that it is currently one of the strongest teams in the Western Conference and the entire NHL.

New Jersey has not beaten Minnesota in regular time since 2017 - eight consecutive games. In the upcoming match, the Devils will also not be easy to win the Wild – Dean Evasson's team in the previous 15 games only once did not score points. New Jersey has been performing unsuccessfully at home, winning only four matches out of 15 within 60 minutes. We are betting on Minnesota and waiting for a productive game – in the six previous meetings with the Wild and the last three matches of the Devils, at least six goals.
