New Jersey Devils vs Calgary Flames Prediction
The Calgary Flames have won 7 of the last 10 games against the Devils, but these aren’t the same Devils from past years. The Devils entered the season as a top-5 title contender and are looking like it through the first few weeks. The Calgary Flames have been free-falling in their last 4 games and the defense has been getting blitzed. The Devils have four wins on the road already, and this feels like another spot where they can take advantage. The price is somewhat reasonable. I’ll ride the hot hand and roll with the Devils.
