The Devils come into this game with a 44-17-7 record overall and they have gone 25-4-4 away from home. In the last game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Devils scored three goals, but it wasn’t enough as they lost in a shootout. Two games ago against the Lightning they were defeated 4-1. The Devils are averaging 3.49 goals while their defense is giving up 2.66 goals per game. The offense is ranked 4th and the defense is also ranked 4th in the league. Jack Hughes is having a strong season and he has scored 37 goals and added 44 assists so far this season.

On the other side of this matchup is the Panthers who sit with a 34-27-7 record overall and they have gone 20-10-4 at home. On Thursday against the Montreal Canadiens, the Panthers scored nine goals and that was enough to win by three goals. Matthew Tkachuk has scored a goal and added another three assists.

Devils vs Panthers Trends

The Panthers are 6-1 in their last seven games against the Eastern Conference. The under is 4-1 in the Devils last five games overall. The over is 8-1-1 in the Panthers last 10 games after allowing five goals or more in their previous game. 

Shane’s Free Pick

The Panthers offense was elite on Thursday scoring nine goals, and they are going to continue that success here. The Devils in the last game gave up four goals and they are going to struggle again in this game. I do expect the Devils offense to find success though, and this game is going to be a shootout. Back the over to cash.
