3/1 NHL GAME OF THE NIGHT
1. New Jersey Devils -250
— The Ducks have been dealing with some rough results as of late. Even with last night’s win over the San Jose Sharks (who are even worse than the Ducks), they have still lost three of their last four games. Their confidence is not high, and being on the second half of a back-to-back against a fresh Devils team is never a good combination.
The Devils currently sit one point out of a playoff spot, and despite their notable injuries (Dougie Hamilton and Vitek Vanecek), a lot of their struggles this season have been deeper-seeded issues. These issues are nearly all defensive issues. Offensively, this team is a juggernaut, with Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt leading the offensive onslaught as of late. Luckily for the Devils the Ducks have been struggling on both ends of the ice, putting up similar numbers to the Devils defensively and drastically worse numbers offensively. There should be a lot of goals in this matchup, and I can see the Devils taking charge of the matchup early and easily hitting their Vegas-implied total of 4.1 (which is the highest on tonight’s slate). Look to Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt to get the offence started here tonight.
(NOTE: The Power Play numbers are very notable here, despite the Devils converting at a league average rate of 22%. The Ducks have the 5th worst penalty kill in the league, coughing up goals on 24.3% of their penalty kills. This is also coupled with the fact that they allow the most penalty minutes per game in the whole league at 14.3 compared to the 7.9 penalty minutes per game that the Devils incur.)
