New Jersey has won 10 of 14, although its three-game win streak was snapped in a 3-0 loss to St. Louis on Wednesday. The Devils have won five of six on the road and six of seven against Eastern Conference teams. Detroit is 0-5 in its past five games as a home underdog of +151 to +200, and coach Derek Lalonde's job is hanging by a thread, as the Red Wings have generally underachieved this season. The Red Wings did get a 2-1 overtime victory over Calgary on Wednesday to buy some time for Lalonde, who was expected to have his team in the playoffs after coming so close last season. Jacob Markstrom is likely in net for New Jersey, and he is 10-6-1 with a 2.54 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage. New Jersey has won seven of his past ten starts. Take the Devils.

Detroit at New Jersey
7:07 PM Eastern
These teams have split two meetings this season and New Jersey will try to snap a three-game losing streak after falling to Edmonton 6-3 on Thursday. Detroit is in worse shape, having lost seven of nine although they did manage to pull out a 7-6 shootout victory in a wild game last night after blowing a 5-1 lead. Now the Red Wings have to play on no rest and they have had serious goaltending problems recently and they are expected to start Michael Hutchinson, who has bounced around the NHL since 2013 and just signed by Detroit after playing 16 games for Columbus last season and finishing with a 4.29 goals-against average. Vitek Vanecek is 11-6-1 for the Devils and he is likely to start tonight. Take the Devils.
