New Jersey has completed a four-match away series, which is hardly a success. The team managed to score only two wins over Dallas (6:4) and Nashville, also with a two-goal difference (4:2). There were also some complete failures. Visiting Carolina, they had huge defensive problems, which eventually led to a crushing defeat with a score of 2:5. Goalkeeper Markstrom showed his worst side, deflecting only 87% of shots. Recall that the Devils continue to remain outside the playoff zone, and currently occupy only the 13th place in the Eastern Conference table.
Chicago still has a mathematical chance of making the playoffs, but soon there won't be any left. The gap from the eighth position is already 10 points, and the hawks don't seem to be going to come to their senses and start steadily earning points. In eight matches, the club was able to score only two victories, taking advantage of the poor form of Minnesota (2:1) and the Islanders (4:3). In almost all other matches, the Blackhawks showed a terrible defensive game and suffered crushing defeats with a difference of more than three goals.
New Jersey got a great opportunity to earn extra points. The team returned to the home arena, where it performs much more stable. There is also a clear outsider standing in the way, who is in terrible shape, and there are absolutely no prerequisites for improving results. Given the serious decline in Chicago, we suggest betting in favor of the owners of the ice.
Our prediction is that New Jersey will win in 2.02
