Devils vs Golden Knights Prediction 

New Jersey comes into this matchup after beating Utah on Saturday night, so they will be on a back to back here. The Devils are 18-12-2 on the road this year, while the Golden Knights are 21-6-3 at home. New Jersey has really struggled to string wins together over the last few weeks, as they have alternated wins and losses over their last 11 games. Vegas has won four of their last five games and they have been elite on home ice. The Golden Knights have allowed five goals in each of their last two games, which is a concern, but I am siding with them and fading the Devils during this trend.
