Chicago Blackhawks vs New Jersey Devils Prediction
The Devils should be favored at home, as they’re the better team and have won 9 of the last 10 games against the Blackhawks. The Deivls haven’t lost to the Blackhawks since February 2022. With that said, the Devils have nothing to play for despite their decent form, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. The Blackhawks don’t win games consistently but despite their poor record, they’re a feisty team that competes. The Blackhawks give your money a chance most nights. I’ll take a shot with the plus money even though history in this series doesn’t favor it. Give me the Blackhawks.
