The New Jersey Devils looked listless and only managed 18 shots in a 5-1 loss in Game 1 of their second-round series against the Carolina Hurricanes. Good thing it was only one game, as Game 2 goes Friday night in Raleigh.

Here’s our look at Game 2 of this Eastern Conference second-round series; plus, we show you how to claim $150 in bonus bets after a $5 bet, win or lose, when you sign up using our FanDuel promo code.

Coming off the emotional win over the Rangers in Game 7, Game 1 against the Hurricanes was not the start the Devils wanted, managing one feeble shot in the first period.

The star of the Rangers series, Devils rookie goalie Akira Schmid, was pulled after allowing three goals in the first 22 minutes. The Devils surged briefly when Vitek Vanacek came in, decreasing the deficit to 3-1 on a goal by Nathan Bastian, but that was as close as they could get.

Jesper Fast had a goal and an assist, and Jordan Staal had two assists for the Hurricanes, who are looking to get to their first Eastern Conference final since 2019. Hurricanes star Sebastian Aho has notched a point in the last four playoff games.

New Jersey shouldn’t be too worried, though. Remember, they lost Game 1 and Game 2 of their series to the Rangers by identical 5-1 scores but came back to win the series.

However, Nico Hischier, who had 31 goals in the regular season, is still looking for his first playoff goal. He’s overdue to get one and will need to substantially increase his offensive production if the Devils are to advance.

FanDuel has the Hurricanes as -118 moneyline favorites, while the over/under total is 5.5. After their Game 1 victory, the Hurricanes’ odds of winning the series shortened to -188.

Things went south in a hurry for the Devils in Game 1. Even Schmid, one of the primary reasons the Devils beat the Rangers, struggled.
