Prediction for the NHL New Jersey Devils vs Philadelphia Flyers match, which will take place on February 26. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

New Jersey has two wins in its last three games, one over tough Winnipeg (4:2) and the other over equally challenging Los Angeles (4:3). However, the Devils were not without losses. The Devils managed to surprise by losing to outsider Montreal in front of their stands (2:5). Because of this mistake, the Devils fell behind the leader of the Metropolitan Division, Carolina. The difference between the rivals is five points ahead of the matchup with Philadelphia.

Philadelphia is approaching the game with New Jersey after beating Calgary (4:3) and four losses - 2:6 from Seattle, 2:6 from Vancouver, 2:4 from Edmonton, and 2:5 from Montreal. As you may have already noticed, the Flyers have severe problems on defense, as 21 missed pucks in four games are extremely disappointing. Of course, with such results, the team went down to the penultimate position in the Metropolitan Division, behind the playoff zone at the moment by 11 points.

New Jersey is approaching the matchup with Philadelphia as the clear favorite, which is justified considering how the Flyers have been performing lately. Also, we shouldn't forget that this game will take place at Newark Arena, where the Devils have scored 36 points this season, the sixth-best in the East. In general, in our opinion, in this pairing, it is safest to bet on the success of the first team.
