Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Pittsburgh vs New Jersey, which will take place on March 15th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is not doing well in the current campaign. The Penguins are not doing as well as expected, but they might still make the playoffs. They are currently ranked 15th in the Eastern Conference with 64 points. Even though there is a big difference between the teams, it's not all bad news for Mike Sullivan's team. In fact, the team has improved a lot recently. After losing four games in a row, they beat Minnesota 3-1, Vegas in overtime 3-2, and St. Louis 5-3.

New Jersey

New Jersey started really well, but then got worse. At the same time, the Devils had no major problems, just wins and losses. This means they are currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 78 points, so there is no doubt they will be in the play-offs. Even though Jack Hughes and Dougie Hamilton got injured, New Jersey still did well, beating Philadelphia 3-1, Columbus 5-3, and Edmonton 3-2 the day before.
