In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Ducks won 4-1 at home and re 4-1 in their last 5 meetings against the Devils. Under is 7-3 in their last 10 meetings.

In this Ducks vs Devils Prediction, the Devils are coming as -119 home favorites. The Ducks continue to impress as their excellent season continues. They have more points and more wins than the Devils so far and are 3-1 in their last 4 games, while on the other hand, the Devils have been struggling mightily lately, as they are 1-6 in their last 7 games and have five consecutive losses. The Ducks have a superior offense, while both teams are almost even defensively. Given both teams’ recent form, I like the value with the Ducks as road dogs in this spot, so take the Ducks on the moneyline in this one.
