Penguins Can Trouble Devils

We think the Penguins can make life more difficult for the Devils than the odds suggest. Therefore, the -135 is a value prediction on the +1.5 puck line.

Devils Are 7 From 10 on the H2H

Pittsburgh Penguins have won back-to-back games. A 5-4 (OT) triumph recently occurred on the road at Bridgestone Arena when playing Nashville Predators. Bryan Rust registered two goals, with Sidney Crosby, Rickard Rakell and Erik Karlsson also finding the net.

New Jersey Devils have enjoyed two home wins in a row. They were defeated in their last game when losing 4-2 on the road against Columbus Blue Jackets. Timo Meier and Luke Hughes each scored one goal.

The last encounter between the Penguins and the Devils saw the former win. It was a 6-3 scoreline at Prudential Center. In the past 10 H2H meetings, the Devils have won seven.
