Ottawa Senators vs New Jersey Devils Prediction

The New Jersey Devils are the better team on paper, and early starts usually favor the home team. However, this line is a bit steep for a Devils side that’s lost eight of their last 10 games. The Devils continue to be hit or miss offensively, and they’ve played a lot of hockey recently, with four of their last five games going to overtime. Meanwhile, the Ottawa Senators have won four of their last five games and the defense has allowed two or fewer goals in four of their last five games. Both teams played yesterday, so we could see some goals due to potentially tired legs. There’s still value with the Senators and a chance to make 1.6 times your money. You can’t lay this number with the Devils in their current form. Give me the Senators.
