Calgary Flames vs New Jersey Devils Prediction

The Flames are looking more and more like a team that’s thrown in the towel on the season and the offense just isn’t producing. The Flames have also been a mess on the road this season. Despite their season being pretty much over as well, the Devils have put together a nice week and have found a spark offensively. Nice wins over the Rangers, Leafs and Panthers. The Devils are showing some pride lately. Give me the Devils at home and the PL for max betting value.
