The New Jersey Devils head into this matchup with their spot relatively secure in the third position of the Metropolitan Division standings, giving them a bit of breathing room as the regular season winds down. On the other side, the New York Rangers are still very much in the thick of the Eastern Conference wild card battle, where every point matters.
The Rangers have been serviceable on the road this season with an 18-15-4 record, but they’ll be facing a Devils squad that has proven tough to beat at home, boasting an 18-13-5 mark on their own ice. Both teams are riding two-game winning streaks into this contest, but when you look closer at how they’ve been getting it done, New Jersey has the clear edge in key areas.
Defensively, the Devils have shown more consistency and structure, limiting high-danger scoring chances and leaning on a system that frustrates opponents. Even more notably, New Jersey possesses one of the top power play units in the NHL, converting at an elite clip and regularly flipping momentum with their special teams play.
One major concern for New York is the goaltending situation, as veteran netminder Jonathan Quick is projected to get the start. While Quick brings experience and playoff pedigree, he’s been inconsistent at times this season, and that’s a risk against a Devils team that can capitalize on shaky goaltending.
Given the matchup dynamics — New Jersey’s home ice advantage, stronger special teams, and more reliable defensive play — the Devils look like the safer side here. Expect a hard-fought game, but New Jersey’s ability to control pace and exploit the power play could lead them to a narrow but decisive win. Lay the juice with the Devils at home. Take New Jersey ML
