New Jersey Devils vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction

The New Jersey Devils got off to a fast start and lived up to expectations, but they’re coming off back-to-back losses where they allowed a combined 14 goals. The Detroit Red Wings are playing great defense this season, and they just won back-to-back road games. The Red Wings should feel good coming back home and pack value in the underdog role. The Devils are the better team on paper and should be favored, but I’ll take the plus money with the team that’s coming off the better week.
