New Jersey at San Jose

New Jersey was embarrassed at home on Dec. 1 when it lost 6-3 to San Jose and that was when the Sharks owned a 5-18 record. The Devils will want to avenge that loss and they will likely have Nico Daws in net and he had 23 saves in a 4-3 win over Montreal on Saturday. Mackenzie Blackwood is probable for the Sharks and he is 9-18-3 with a 3.51 goals-against average. San Jose is 4-19 its past 23 games as a home underdog of at least +201 and the Sharks have lost 42 of 51 after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. San Jose has lost five of six following a 4-2 defeat against Nashville and the Sharks have scored only 17 goals in eight games. The Devils have won nine straight as road favorites of -201 or greater and they have won four of five after a home loss of at least three goals. Take the Devils.
