This is the second game of a home-and-home set, and New Jersey came out in the top 4-2 last night for its third straight win and sixth in seven games. Carolina lost for the third time in four games despite a 31-24 shot advantage. Jacob Markstrom had 29 shots for the Devils, who are 5-1 in their past six after allowing two or fewer goals in their previous game. New Jersey has won eight of 10 against teams with winning records. The Hurricanes have lost four of five players playing on no rest, and they are 1-4 in their past five versus teams that allowed two or fewer goals in their previous game. Carolina has gone UNDER four straight home games, and it is 4-0 UNDER in the second game of a home-and-home situation. New Jersey has stayed UNDER five of six road games and will likely start Jake Allen, who has a 2.79 goals-against average. Take the Devils and the UNDER.
