New York at New Jersey

The Devils play great defense (2.3 goals per game allowed) but vs. division foes it climbs to 2.6. Their offense has struggled vs. division opponents too, averaging just 2.4 goals per game. They have notched 4 goals in each of their last two games but prior to that they went a eight game stretch getting more than 2 goals just once. They now have to face a very good defense that is playing great. The Rangers allow 2.5 goals per game this season but over their last five games, it's averaged just 2.0 and in 23 division games, they allow a very stingy 1.9 per game! That's the reason they are 16-7 in those games. The Rangers have won 9 of their last 11 games vs. winning teams and we like them here.
