The New Jersey Devils have been hot out of the gate in winning six of their first seven games to start the 2017 season. The Devils have gone from finishing last in the conference last year, to tops in the Metropolitan Division this year. The Sharks have had trouble getting the offense to where it needs to be, and after a slow start the defense has allowed just seven goals total in their last three games. The Sharks have plagued the Eastern Conference with a 45-29 record in their last 74 meetings. They have certainly plagued the Devils' offense as they have allowed just 1.2 goals in the last four meetings with the game's total goals scored registering a woeful 3.7 per contest, and none of them have topped the five-goal mark. I see some value on playing low, so make the play on the UNDER.
