The New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers meet Tuesday in NHL action at Madison Square Garden.

The New Jersey Devils look for a win here to get a game above a .500 record. The New Jersey Devils are averaging two goals per game and are scoring on zero percent of their power play opportunities. Miles Wood leads New Jersey with two goals, Jack Hughes has three assists and Nikita Gusev has nine shots on goal. Defensively, the New Jersey Devils are allowing two goals per game and are killing 60 percent of their opponents power plays. Mackenzie Blackwood has allowed three goals on 65 shots faced.

The New York Rangers look for another win to get a game above a .500 record. The New York Rangers are averaging 2.5 goals per game and are scoring on 9.09 percent of their power play opportunities. Pavel Buchnevich leads New York with two goals, Brendan Smith has one assist and Mika Zibanejad has seven shots on goal. Defensively, the New York Rangers are allowing four goals per game and are killing 75 percent of their opponents power plays. Igor Shesterkin has given up four goals on 33 shots faced and Alexandar Georgiev has given up zero goals on 23 shots.

The Devils are 26-54 in their last 80 road games and 4-22 in their last 26 Tuesday games. The Rangers are 2-5 in their last 7 home games and 1-5 in their last 6 overall. The under is 10-3 in Devils last 13 overall. The under is 6-0 in Rangers last 6 overall. The Devils are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in New York. The favorite is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings. The home team is 14-5 in the last 19 meetings.

The New Jersey Devils are a team with potential that's worth consideration in the underdog role this season, but they've been downright awful the last couple of seasons on the road. The New York Rangers have question marks of their own this season, but they've won five of the last eight meetings against the Devils and are coming off a confidence boosting 5-0 win over the Islanders. This feels like a decent spot to get behind the Rangers with the reasonable juice. I'll back the home team.
