LiontipsNew Jersey vs Toronto. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (February 2, 2022).
Command Analysis
New Jersey are in danger of dropping to the penultimate line of the Eastern Conference standings. They are currently on a string of five defeats, all of which were suffered in regulation time. The Devils lost to Carolina (1:2) and Toronto (4:6) in their last two outings.
The Devils had a two-goal lead against the Maple Leafs, but in the third period they conceded four goals and gave away the game. However, New Jersey usually are more confident at their home court, and this is their chance to get revenge.
Toronto have a good chance to strengthen their standings in the near future since they have several games in hand. The Maple Leafs are on top form and they won in their last four matches. Before going against New Jersey in the previous fixture, they beat Anaheim (4:3 SO) and Detroit (7:4). In the last game against the Devils, Toronto star Auston Matthews netted a hat-trick.
The Leafs aren't very successful on their travels - they won in only half of the matches away and conceded an average of three goals per game.
