Ottawa at New Jersey

Premium Pick

New Jersey has Martin Brodeur. But, he'll be facing a very tough challenge tonight from Daniel Alfredsson, Jason Spezza and Dany Heatley. Brodeur has saved 91.7% of shots in the playoffs as the Devils held Tampa Bay to 2.3 goals per game. But now he faces an Ottawa offense that pounded in 3.5 goals per game this season. They averaged 3.4 on the road and 3.6 in their first round series vs. Pittsburgh. Brodeur certaintly showed chinks in the armour in round one, allowing three goals in each of his first three appearances. Ottawa's road record this season was nearly as good as New Jersey's home record so the location here is not a big advantage. Ottawa played inspired defense vs. the Penguins (2.0 goals per game allowed). We like Ottawa's high powered offense here.
