NHLThe regular season is now entering its second half. The New Jersey Devils are one of the worst teams in the league. They are currently 14th in the Eastern Conference with 39 points. Meanwhile, the recently undefeated Tampa Bay Lightning are in 5th place in the conference with 58 points.
New Jersey Devils
In their last game, the Devils defeated the league-leading Washington Capitals on the road. However, this was more of an exception to their very poor season. It is also worth mentioning that the Devils are playing much better on the road than at home. The Devils look very bad in their fortress. In 22 games played, they have only 19 points and 16 losses. On average, they have scored 2.83 goals and conceded 3.63. In the last 10 home games, the only two wins have come against the Bruins and Ducks. Blackwood, Street and Hughes will not help the team today.
Tampa Bay Lightning
The Lightning have finally picked up the momentum after a rather weak start to the season and are now playing really impressively. They have now won 10 in a row, all of them in regulation time. At the moment, it seems that the team just can't lose and one way or another victory is within reach. The Lightning are the highest scoring team in the conference with an average of 3.66 goals. Meanwhile, the Devils are the team with the most goals allowed - 3.5. It seems that the Lightning shouldn't have any big problems with their offense today, and the team should reach their average. The H2H of the teams is also trending towards the Lightning, who have won 6 games in a row against the Devils. McDonagh, Maroon and Palat will not play today due to injuries.
Choice
So, we predict that the Lightning will extend their winning streak to 11 and the Devils will not be the team that will be able to stand up to them. The difference between the teams is just too big at the moment and as long as the Lightning are playing like this, they are the team to choose. Good luck.
