Preview

The New Jersey Devils will visit the New York Rangers on Friday night.  This is the 2nd time these teams face off this season, the Rangers beat the Devils 4-3 in overtime at New York.

NEW JERSEY DEVILS

The Devils have been bad on the road with a 8-19 record and already lost to the Rangers earlier this season. New Jersey is seventh in the Eastern Conference with 31.6 shots per game and is averaging 3.0 goals.

Bratt leads the Devils with 19 goals and has 50 points. Jack Hughes has four goals and seven assists over the last 10 games for New Jersey.

In their last 10 games the Devils are 4-6, averaging 4.2 goals, 6.3 assists, 3.6 penalties and 9.7 penalty minutes while giving up 4.1 goals per game with an .877 save percentage.

NEW YORK RANGERS

The Rangers are 18-5-3 at home but have covered the spread 12 of 26 times in NY. New York is 10th in the Eastern Conference averaging 2.9 goals per game, led by Chris Kreider with 35.

Artemi Panarin leads the Rangers with 59 points, scoring 15 goals and adding 44 assists. Mika Zibanejad has five goals and seven assists over the last 10 games for New York.

New York are 6-4 in their last 10 games, averaging 2.7 goals, 3.9 assists, 3.4 penalties and 7.1 penalty minutes while giving up 2.2 goals per game with a .935 save percentage.

BETTING TRENDS

New Jersey are 5-14 SU in their last 19 games.

New Jersey are 0-7 SU in their last 7 games against NY Rangers..

NY Rangers are 10-3 SU in their last 13 games at home.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of NY Rangers' last 7 games.

Prediction

The Rangers are very good at home, they're 18-8 at home this season. They're a defensive team and don't score many goals usually. The Devils are averaging 4.2 goals and allowing 4.1 gpg in their last 10 games. The Rangers barely beat the Devils last time so I think the value here is on the Devils.
