I love the Devils here. You have two teams that have done their best work this season on the road, so right off the hop, that benefits the Devils who are an astounding 26-5-4 on the road this season. Next, the Sabres had a chance to make some noise in the postseason race, but I always talk about the drought and slide that the Sabres go on every year, where they look like they have some hope and then go on a lengthy struggle streak. This year, that streak just started a little bit later, but the Sabres just look like they’ve run out of gas. New Jersey is still in the mix for the Metro division title and full stop, they’re just playing the better hockey simple as that. Give me New Jersey here as they’re 23-5 in their last 28 games against a team with a losing record while the Sabres have lost 4 straight overall and 5 straight home games.
