New Jersey can only be half satisfied with its away game. In the last two matches, they managed to beat only St. Louis with a score of 4:1. In the next game, the Devils met with Chicago, against which they had excellent chances for points, but lost - 2:4. After this defeat and working on their mistakes, they had no problem dealing with Pittsburgh, and Markström recorded a 3:0 shutout.
New Jersey not for the first time this season climbed to the top of the standings in the East, but they are chased by Washington, who has one point less and four games in hand. Of course, the Devils can't expect a prolonged lead just yet.
Rangers
The continued reign of Peter Laviolette on the coaching bridge is in danger. If the Rangers don't make the playoffs this season, management will point the finger at the manager's door. At the moment, the Rangers can settle for 11th place in the standings with a total of 33 points to their credit. Among the latest joys is a solid away win over Dallas (3:1), but three games earlier New York suffered defeats - 1:5 from Los Angeles, 2:3 from St. Louis and 0:2 from Nashville.
The Rangers have a tough back-to-back ahead of them, where they will meet Carolina in front of their own stands in the first half. Of course, for the New Yorkers, the home game is more important, and as a result, they may simply not have enough energy for the trip.
Expert Betting Tips
Rangers should face two powerful opponents, and in one day. If the Rangers feel confident with Carolina: fresh energy and home stands, the game with New Jersey could end in disappointment. After all, the Devils are the leaders in the East at the moment, and a defeat in the upcoming game could drop them back to second place. In general, we do not think that the club will neglect the points in a duel with exhausted New Yorkers.
