However, after that they managed to make three wins in a row. First it was Anaheim (4-2), then the Islanders (4-1) and after that San Jose (2-1). New Jersey is fifth in the Metropolitan Division standings with six points.

Washington also lost two straight games to Boston 2-5 and Toronto 2-3 at the start of the season. Then they beat Montreal (3-1) and Vancouver (6-4), and lost again to Ottawa (2-5).

Washington has lost in regulation time in 5 of the last 7 away games. You can bet on W1 with odds of 2.30 at Betking.

Bookmakers consider New Jersey to be a slight favorite in this matchup, and we agree with them. Washington plays very poorly, on the road and the hosts have a three-match winning streak, which they obviously intend to extend. We think they can do it, but as a safe bet, we'll take their win in OT.

Our prediction: New Jersey Devils will win.
