New Jersey has won 10 of 14, although its three-game win streak was snapped in a 3-0 loss to St. Louis on Wednesday. The Devils have won five of six on the road and six of seven against Eastern Conference teams. Detroit is 0-5 in its past five games as a home underdog of +151 to +200, and coach Derek Lalonde's job is hanging by a thread, as the Red Wings have generally underachieved this season. The Red Wings did get a 2-1 overtime victory over Calgary on Wednesday to buy some time for Lalonde, who was expected to have his team in the playoffs after coming so close last season. Jacob Markstrom is likely in net for New Jersey, and he is 10-6-1 with a 2.54 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage. New Jersey has won seven of his past ten starts. Take the Devils.
