New Jersey is in revenge for a 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes on Jan. 25 and Nico Daws will also look for payback after allowing all three goals. Daws is expected to be in net for this game although the Devils could go with Vitek Vanecek, who stopped all 11 shots he faced in that game. New Jersey has a better record on the road winning 14 of 24 compared to winning 11 of 25 at home. Carolina comes off a 5-2 victory over Colorado on Thursday and Pyotr Kochetkov is probable with a 12-8-3 record. New Jersey has won six of eight against the Metropolitan Division and they are a live underdog in this matchup. Take the Devils.

New Jersey at Carolina
This is the first meeting of the season after Carolina beat the Devils in five games in last year's Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Hurricanes have won nine of 12 after defeating Boston 3-2 on the road on Wednesday night. Jordan Martinook scored the eventual game winner with a breakaway goal with 2:27 left and Spencer Martin had 26 saves in his first start for Carolina after being acquired from Columbus. Antti Raanta should be back in net in this back-to-back spot and he is 10-7-2. Nico Daws is likely for New Jersey with a 3-4-0 record and 3.18 goals-against average. The Devils have lost five of eight although they do come off a 6-5 overtime win over Vegas on Monday for their second straight OVER. Six of the past eight meetings have gone OVER and Carolina is 5-1 OVER against teams that scored at least five goals their previous game. The Devils are 1-6 as road underdogs of +110 to +150 and and they have lost four of five following a win. Take the Hurricanes and the OVER.
