New Jersey is all about slowing the pace down, sixth in the NHL in goals allowed, but dead last in goals scored. New Jersey is 53-23-14 UNDER the total against the Western Conference. Goalie Cory Schneider is 3-1-1 with a 2.09 goals against average in his last five against the Dallas Stars. The Devils had to play last night and the UNDER is 30-13-11 when playing on no days rest, plus 13-5-2 UNDER the total on the road. Dallas can play defense, too, but the offense has let them down during this four-game skid. They don't have all their offensive guns, either, as Patrick Sharp (lower body injury) has been ruled out for at least the next five days, and Jordie Benn will miss a week with a lower body injury. When these teams meet the UNDER is 9-3-2 in Dallas and this shapes up as a slow paced defensive duel. This one stays UNDER.
