New Jersey will ride the momentum it attained by beating the Rangers in Game 7 on Monday night and they'll have a hot goalie in Akira Schmid, who has won five of his past six starts, including a 4-0 shutout of the Rangers in the series clincher. Schmid has allowed only 1.7 goals per game his past 10 appearances and overall he is 13-6-2 with a sparkling 1.94 goals-against average and .929 save percentage (three shutouts). The Devils won the last two regular season meetings, including 3-0 on March 12, and the UNDER is 19-9-4 the past 32 meetings with Carolina, which is 11-4 UNDER playing with at least three days rest. Also, the Hurricanes are 5-1-1 UNDER their past six home games. New Jersey has won 30 of 43 on the road and 17 of 22 versus the Metropolitan Division. Take the Devils and the UNDER.
