Trends
Buffalo is 0-5 in their last 5 Tuesday games and 54-123 in their last 177 games played on no rest. The over is 7-2 in Buffalo’s last 9 Tuesday games. New Jersey is 4-0 in their last 4 home games and 1-4 in their last 5 Tuesday games. The under is 10-3 in New Jersey’s last 13 Tuesday games. The road team is 9-3 in these two teams last 12 head to head meetings.
Pick
Buffalo comes into this game playing great hockey over the last couple of weeks, while New Jersey has won two of their last three games. The Devils are still fighting for playoff seeding and are still in contention for the one seed in the Metro. New Jersey has scored 14 goals in their last three games and will be going against a Buffalo defense that has not been good this year. I like the Devils to win this game by at least two goals.
