Young Edmonton has star rookie Connor McDavid back and is 2-2 the last four games, winning as a dog at Ottawa, 7-2. The 19-year-old center has 18 points in 17 games. While Edmonton has speed and talent on its young offense, New Jersey has virtually no offense, #29 in the NHL in goals scored. New Jersey is in the hunt for a Wild Card spot but is not playing like it, losing three in a row scoring two goals twice and one goal after Monday's 2-1 loss to the New York Rangers. It's the second of a back-to-back spot and the Devils are 3-7 in the third game of a three-in-four situation. Edmonton has at least one point in its last 10 games at New Jersey, going 5-0-4 with one tie. They won 2-1 in their most recent visit on this ice and can do it again. Take Edmonton.
