Current form
On January 30, the Devils snatched a crucial 3-2 overtime victory over the Nashville Predators on their Prudential Center ice, breaking a two-game losing streak and adding confidence to their playoff run. The visitors opened the scoring in the first period — Michael McCarron closed the rebound after a rebound from goalkeeper Jonathan Marchessault at 5:07. The Devils responded in the second, with Daggy Hamilton equalizing 1-1 with a powerful shot at 10:01, extending his scoring streak to nine games.
In the third, Filip Forsberg put the visitors ahead again, but Jesper Bratt quickly regained his balance at 10:42. Overtime decided everything — in the 42nd second, Niko Hishir's slap from the left faceoff circle after Dawson Mercer's pass brought a 3-2 victory. Goalkeeper Jakob Markstrom deflected 27 of 29 shots, showing nerves of steel, especially after Jack Hughes' early withdrawal due to injury. The Devils' best was Hishir, who scored the decisive goal in overtime and led the team in points. In the Metropolitan Division table, the New Jersey Devils have 58 points, ranking sixth.

The odds look about equal, but with a slight advantage in favor of the hosts. The Senators recently caused a sensation by defeating Colorado, demonstrating an explosive attack with Stutzle and company. At home, they always play with fire in their eyes, interrupting unsuccessful episodes. The Devils have a fresh 3-2 overtime win over Nashville thanks to Hishire, but the loss of Jack Hughes and other injuries weaken the offense. Head-to-head this season, New Jersey won the December match in Ottawa, but now the Senators are on the rise after sensationalizing the lead. The best bet looks to be the victory of the Ottawa Senators in regular time. The coefficient will be attractive — the home factor, the fresh morale boost and the Devils' problems with injuries to key players give the Senators the advantage.
Our prediction is that Ottawa will win in 2.05
