New Jersey vs Dallas Prediction: Laying Hopes on the Devils Again

Prediction for the NHL New Jersey Devils vs Dallas Stars match, which will take place on December 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Devils had two previous games against New York teams and failed both. First, Lindy Ruff's team lost in regulation time to the Islanders, 4-6. Then, after leading 2-0 and 3-1, the team missed out on a win against the Rangers, 3-4, in overtime. New Jersey is beginning to slow down but is still one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. They occupy second place in the summary table, behind Boston.

Peter DeBoer's team taught us this season that they can easily outplay the league's mediocre teams and underdogs but is just as prone to falter in games against strong opponents. Dallas fell on the road to Pittsburgh 1-2 and conceded the decisive goal 40 seconds before the final buzzer. The Stars lack stamina, even though they remain in high third place in the Western Conference standings.

• Dallas has beaten New Jersey in four of the last five matches.
• Only three of the last 12 faceoffs between Dallas and New Jersey have seen more than six goals scored.

Dallas, including New Jersey, seldom defeats a top team in the current league. The Devils look good at the beginning of the season, and it's no coincidence that they're second in the East. And losses in the previous two games will further motivate Lindy Ruff's wards. We're betting on the Devils with TU here - only three of New Jersey's 12 home games and only four of Dallas' 14 road games have seen more than seven pucks scored.
