Devils vs Rangers Prediction
The New Jersey Devils will play the New York Rangers in Game 6 of their series on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Devils Preview
The New Jersey Devils lost the first two games of this series at home, but they have won three games in a row and will be looking to advance to the next round with a win here. The Devils have won the last three games by scores of 2-1 (OT), 3-1, and 4-0. New Jersey absolutely dominated New York in their Game 5 win, limiting New York to only 22 shots on goal. New Jersey recorded 43 shots on goal and went 1-5 on the power play in the win. Erik Haula has led the Devils this postseason with three goals, two assists, and 13 shots on goal, while Jack Hughes has added three goals and 21 shots. Akira Schmid is 3-0-0 this postseason with a 0.63 goals against average and a .976 save percentage for New Jersey.
Rangers Preview
The New York Rangers looked great in the first two games of this series, but they are facing elimination in this game. The Rangers have not been able to consistently score in the last three games, which is crazy to see after they scored 10 goals in the first two games. New York recorded 22 shots on goal and went 0-2 on the power play in the Game 5 loss. Patrick Kane has led the Rangers this postseason with one goal, five assists, and 15 shots on goal, while Chris Kreider has added five goals, one assist, and 11 shots. Igor Shesterkin is 2-2-1 this postseason with a 1.75 goals against average and a .938 save percentage.
Trends
New Jersey is 5-2 in their last 7 games and 30-12 in their last 42 road games. The under is 5-2 in New Jersey’s last 7 games in the first round of the playoffs. New York is 4-1 in their last 5 Saturday games and 2-5 in their last 7 games. The under is 7-2 in New York’s last 9 games. The over is 22-9-1 in these two teams last 32 head to head meetings.
Pick
The Rangers come into this game needing a win to force a Game 7, but they are going to need a much better effort than the one they showed in Game 5. New York was dominated in Game 5, but they will be on home ice for this matchup. Akira Schmid has been fantastic for the Devils in this series, but how long can his hot streak last? I think New York will come out very strong in this game and I like them to get the home win here.
