The New Jersey Devils did what teams need to do when starting a playoffs series on the road - they stole a game. With the win, they changed the series dynamics to now hold the home ice advantage with a best three out of five with three of them at home. The Devils have certainly been the team to apply more pressure, as they had more shots on goal than the Panthers in each game, and hold a 63-50 advantage. That deficit will catch-up to the Panthers sooner or later, especially taking to the road for Game 3. Martin Broduer has had a lot of playoffs success vs. the Panthers winning 5-of-6 against them. The Panthers have had all kinds of trouble on the road vs. a winning home team where they are 15-36 in their last 51, and also own a 30-63 mark as a dog of +110 to +150 in their last 93. The Devils are pouring it on as home chalk at 28-9 in their last 37. Play on New Jersey.
