ANALYSIS

We are backing New Jersey as they leverage their NHL-leading 56.4% 5v5 xGF% against a Seattle defense that ranks 26th in high-danger chances allowed and remains without top-pair defenseman Brandon Montour. The Devils carry significant momentum into this home matchup following a 5-2 victory over Minnesota, highlighted by multi-goal performances from Jesper Bratt and Ondrej Palat that snapped a recent skid.
Key Data
