Oilers vs Devils Prediction

In this Oilers vs Devils Prediction, the Devils are coming as -155 home favorites. Both teams are coming into this matchup in excellent form, as the Devils are 7-2 in their last 9 games, having won their last four games at home, while the Oilers are 6-2 in their last 8 games and have four consecutive wins on the road. I see no value on either side, but both teams have been playing excellent defense lately, as the Devils have held their opponents into two goals or less in four of their last five games and the Oilers have allowed a single goal in their last three games combined. Both teams allow just 5.93 goals per game combined this season and the Devils are a different beast with Connor Hellebuyck between the pipes. This is be a low-scoring playoff-type game, so take the under 6 goals in this one.

The Devils have won their last four meetings against the Oilers and are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in New Jersey. Under is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings.
