New Jersey Devils vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction: Who will be stronger?

Prediction for the NHL New Jersey Devils vs Vegas Golden Knights match, which will take place on January 25. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Devils can rightfully be called this championship's biggest revelation. The team has been progressing for several years. Still, hardly anyone could have expected that in half of the current regular season, New Jersey would move to the status of the third team in the East and be only 2 points behind the leader - Carolina - in the Metropolitan Division table.

New Jersey has six wins and no losses in regulation time in their previous seven games. During that stretch, the Devils beat the New York Rangers (4:3 (3:3) in overtime) and the same Carolina (5:3). In their last game, they beat Pittsburgh 2:1 (1:1) thanks to a goal by Dougie Hamilton in the third minute of overtime.

The Golden Knights have been having trouble of late. The team has been without several key players simultaneously, and as a result, they have not been able to perform at their level. For now, though, Vegas has the right to lose. The Knights lead the Pacific Division and place third in the Western Conference standings.

Vegas has four straight losses in its last five games. In the previous game, the team from Nevada even managed to lose on the road to Arizona (1:4).

Due to injuries, Vegas is missing two key defensemen - Shea Theodore and Zack Whitecloud. In addition, Bruce Cassidy can't count on the critical forwards - Mark Stone, Brett Howden, and William Carrier. With such losses in the lineup, the Golden Knights can hardly count on a positive result against New Jersey. Lindy Ruff's team is on a roll right now, having beaten such strong opponents as the New York Rangers, Carolina, and Los Angeles, and are unlikely to stop.
