At one point, it seemed that the young Devils were capable of imposing a playoff battle on the top teams in the Capital One division already this season. However, their results began to slip recently, and the Devils have already fallen to No.7 in the top eight. It seems not to be the case, though—Jersey’s tally for future championships.
Lindy Ruff’s previous game was a devastating away loss to Philadelphia. 1-6 - even the excellent Mackenzie Blackwood in goal did not help the Devils.
Vegas, on the other hand, had a winning streak
On home ice, the Golden Knights also recently lost to Philadelphia, 3-4. But they won the rest of their games in the last six meetings. This allowed Peter DeBoer’s team to enter the playoff zone finally. The Knights are in 3rd place in the Pacific Division, just 5 points behind No. 1 Anaheim.
Vegas beat Boston 4-1 away in last week’s game. Max Pacioretty scored a double, and Chandler Stephenson recorded his hat-trick with an assist.
Expert Betting Tips
Vegas play effectively. Peter DeBoer’s team misses a lot and has to score even more. The upcoming game will almost certainly be goal-rich as well. On top of that, Vegas are unlikely to lose, at least in regulation time. The Devils were down by the middle of the regular season. Although they’ve made significant progress this season, the young team is not yet ready for consistent long-distance play.
We predict that Vegas will be closer to victory in a result-oriented match.
