New Jersey started off the season surprisingly hot on offense, but they've cooled off with 14 total goals the last five contests. The Devils wind up a three-game road trip here, and the offense is banged up. The Devils are without right wing Kyle Palmieri (foot) while fellow forward Marcus Johansson (concussion) is not expected to play. New Jersey is 23-10-5 UNDER the total after allowing five goals or more in the previous game, plus 38-18-17 UNDER following a loss of three or more goals. Calgary is a defensive-first team, sixth in the NHL in goals allowed, but last in goals scored (2.2 per game) and #24 on the power play. Calgary has not scored more than two goals in seven straight games, but is getting stellar play from goalie Mike Smith (.936 save percentage). They've won back-to-back 2-1 games, including the last game over defending champion Pittsburgh. They've also allowed two goals or less in six of the last eight contests. Play the UNDER inthis one.
