The New jersey Devils opened the season last year with seven straight losses, and knew a repeat would be hard to swallow. They came out focused and determined not to let it happen again, and succeeded by starting 3-0. Things have gone downhill since as they have recorded a win in just five of their last 15 games. Winnipeg was the slow team out of the gate at 1-4, but have been an above average team since. The Jets have defended admirably over their last 12 games since being roughed up early as they have allowed an average of just a stingy 2 goals per game since, which is going to put you in a position to win a lot of hockey games. The Devils are just 21-46 in their last 67 on the road, and the Jets have taken six straight vs. a losing team. Play the home team Jets.
