New Jersey at Ottawa

The New Jersey Devils have the third most road wins in the NHL this season at 21. One reason is that they pack their defense when they take to the road, and that has been even more apparent in recent road games where they have held opponents attacks to 2 goals or less in their last 11 road games. Their problem right now is generating offense, as they have scored just 5 times in their last four games. Ottawa had a big outburst, scoring 7 at Tampa, but have since scored less with each subsequent game over the last five, and prior to the 7-goal explosion they scored 4 goals total in the three games that preceded that, so their offense is sputtering as well. The Devils are playing their third game in four nights, and are 5-0 to the UNDER the last five in this situation. Ottawa is on two day’s rest, and are 10-2 to the UNDER in this situation. The UNDER is 34-15-3 in the last 52 meetings between these clubs as well. Play the UNDER.
