New Jersey is 8-4 on the puckline this season, and the Devils have won three of their last four games, although they do look to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Buffalo on Saturday. Washington has lost five of its last seven games following a 4-1 defeat against the New York Rangers. Scott Wedgewood is probable in net for the Devils, and he has a 2.80 goals-against average in five games, and he hasn't played since Jan. 30. Ilya Samsonov has a 3.36 GAA and .868 save percentage for the Capitals in only two games this year. Both teams are playing a back-to-back, but New Jersey is 4-1 its last five games playing on no rest and 8-3 after scoring two or fewer goals its previous game. Washington is just 1-4 its last five as a home favorite. Take the Devils on the puckline.
