New Jersey Devils vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction: New Jersey Has a Better Chance

Prediction for the NHL New Jersey Devils vs Pittsburgh Penguins match, which will take place on January 22nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

New Jersey is showing great results again. In five extreme games, it was stronger four times - Carolina (5:3), Anaheim (6:2), Los Angeles (5:2), and San Jose (4:3 by shootout). However, the series of victories was interrupted in the last match. The Devils suffered an offensive defeat against Seattle on the road (3:4, considering overtime). Note that the Devils are fighting for leadership in the Metropolitan Division. At the moment, they are second and have two points less than the first Carolina

Pittsburgh slowed down a bit. So, in the last five games, the team can boast only two victories – 4:3 after defeating Anaheim and 4:1 over Ottawa. Of course, the Penguins were weaker in the other three – 1:4 from Winnipeg, 1:2 from Carolina, and 4:5 (OT) from Ottawa. Because of this, the Penguins dropped to fifth position in the Capital Division table, two points ahead of the lower Islanders. In case of failure in the upcoming match, Pittsburgh risks being eliminated from the playoff zone.

New Jersey has a better chance of success, given the conditions in which opponents approach the game, but we do not recommend writing off Pittsburgh. The Penguins can gather their thoughts at any moment and give out great hockey. It is worth noting that, on average, 6.0 goals are scored per match with the participation of New Jersey, while 6.1 goals are scored with the participation of Pittsburgh.
