Devils vs Bruins Prediction 

New Jersey comes into this game already locked into a playoff spot, but they have lost three games in a row and are not playing well right now. The Devils are 22-16-2 on the road this year, while the Bruins are 20-14-6 at home. Boston has won three of their last five games, but they haven’t won back to back games in a while. The Bruins did just beat New Jersey by a score of 7-2 on April 8th, but I am going to side with the Devils, as I think they will be focused on gaining some momentum before the postseason.
