New Jersey at Washington

The New Jersey Devils were in the NHL lottery zone last year, and have made a very quick turnaround. The Devils with a win could end up winning the Metro Division Title, so they still have an incentive for this game. Washington with a win would just lower their draft position, and their top player Alex Ovechkin has not played in recent games. The Caps have really tapered off late in the season, and New Jersey has flourished on the road all season at 27-13. This game is important, and New Jersey has had no trouble winning on the road and Washington has a lot more to lose here with a win. Make the play on New Jersey.
