Can the Devils’ Offense Bounce Back?

The Devils on Friday faced off against the Calgary Flames and they were defeated 3-0. Two games ago the offense scored six goals against the Vancouver Canucks, so it was a bit shocking the offense couldn’t get anything going. The Flames as a team had 22 shots total but they couldn’t find the back of the net. Jacob Markstrom was in goal for the Devils and he saved 29 of the 31 shots that he faced. 

The Devils are averaging 3.57 goals while their defense is giving up 3.0 goals per game. The offense is ranked 10th in the league while the defense is ranked 7th. Nico Hishier has scored 10 goals and added five assists so far this season. 

Why the Devils Will Beat the Oilers

• The Oilers have lost each of their last four night games on the second leg of a back-to-back.
• The Devils have won 13 of their last 17 road games following a road loss.
• The Oilers have failed to cover the puck line in each of their last four games on the second leg of a back-to-back.
• The favorites have covered the puck line in each of the last three games between the Devils and Oilers.
• The Oilers have lost the second period in each of their last three games following a road win.

Connor McDavid Still Out of the Oilers

Connor McDavid is still out of the Oilers and it’s unclear at this point when he’s going to be back. On Sunday the Oilers faced off against the Calgary Flames and they ended up winning 4-2. Leon Draisatil scored a goal and added two assists. Stuart Skinner started in goal and saved 29 of the 31 shots that he faced. Prior to that win, the Oilers beat the Predators. In this game, the Oilers offense is going to have tired legs and they need to get the offense out to a fast start. 

The Oilers are averaging 2.58 goals while their defense is giving up 3.17 goals per game. The offense is ranked 28th in the league while the defense is ranked 16th best in the league. Draisaitl has scored nine goals and added seven assists so far this season. 

New Jersey Devils vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction

The Oilers are probably the better team but they are on tired legs and that is going to hurt them here. The Devils offense scored six goals two games ago and the Oilers defense is going to really hurt them because of the tired legs. The Devils offense are averaging 3.57 goals per game and their offense is going to get out to a fast start. The Oilers won’t be keeping up. Back the Devils on the money line.
