New Jersey Devils vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction: The Devils Will Win Over the Flyers

The NHL regular season match New Jersey Devils vs Philadelphia Flyers will take place on the ice of the Prudential Center on December 16. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

New Jersey Devils

New Jersey is one of the NHL outsiders of recent years, but in the current regular season, the Devils clearly intend to interrupt a series of failures, finally getting into the playoffs. From the very first games Lindy Ruff's wards began to show great results, and they had a 13-match winning series in November. Such a successful and productive period took a lot of strength and emotions from the Red and Blacks, which is why the results began to decrease. In the last three matches, they lost to the Islanders – 4:6, the Rangers – 3:4, Dallas – 1:4, but even this does not prevent them from taking second place in the Eastern Conference standings. 

Philadelphia Flyers

Philadelphia is another team that made their regular season debut. But the Pilots left all the reasons for pride in roughly the same October. Quickly enough the results of the Pennsylvanians began to decline, and by mid-November they completely fell apart having a 10-match series of defeats. After that the Flyers were able to catch a couple of victories, but now they have opened another series of failures. In the last four games, John Tortorella's wards lost to Washington – 1:4, Vegas – 1:2, Arizona – 4:5, and the day before, Colorado – 2:3. This is why they dropped to 15th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

New Jersey and Philadelphia approach the confrontation in a bad mood. The Devils have three losses in a row, and the Flyers cannot win in four games already. At the same time, Lindy Ruff's wards have already proved that they are capable of demonstrating excellent results. And the second place in the Eastern Conference standings only confirms it. The Flyers have another story: they are second-to-last failing nine previous meetings.

This season New Jersey is not only in the group of leaders of the Eastern Conference, but also is one of the most productive teams. In 29 meetings the Devils have already shot 104 goals (3.59 on average per game) – an excellent number. Recently, things have gotten a little worse for the Red and Blacks, but a match against one of the outsiders is a great opportunity to improve statistics and to return self–confidence.
