Philadelphia vs New Jersey Prediction: the Devils are Fierce on the Road

Philadelphia is having another disappointing season, the third in a row. It seemed that John Tortorella would restore order in the Pennsylvania Kingdom. This season's debut only convinced us of that, as the Flyers started with five wins in seven games, but that was the end. The further they go, the fewer successful games they have, and their chances of making the playoffs seem minimal by December. They defeated the Islanders 3-1 in 12 meetings, but that did not cheer them up, as they lost to Tampa Bay 1-4 and dropped to 14th place in the East.

New Jersey, for the last couple of years, lived next to Philadelphia among the underdogs, but this season they are fed up with this neighborhood, so they decided to improve. In the opening game, they showed decent results. They began a long winning streak in late October, which eventually extended to 13 games. After that, Lindy Ruff's team slowed down, failing two of their last five meetings. But even these defeats were minimal - 1-2 and 3-4. All this allowed New Jersey to lead the Eastern Conference.

Philadelphia and New Jersey are in very different forms. If the Flyers are still in a crisis, the Devils look good on the road, where they've won ten games. Such a tangible difference makes Lindy Ruff's wards the favorite.

John Tortorella's teams are known for their solid defense, but something went wrong for the eminent mentor in Pennsylvania. In the last 12 meetings, Philadelphia sent exactly fifty pucks (4.17 average). The Devils, meanwhile, are doing just fine offensively, with 39 goals (3.90 average) in their previous ten games.
