Prediction
Devils 4, Wild 2
Moneyline (ML)
The DEVILS(-154) got a couple much needed nights of rest and host a Minnesota team having lost 3-2 against the New York Rangers Monday. The Wild blew a one-goal lead late in the third period then lost quickly in overtime. New Jersey facing a goalie making his NHL debut has driven the line more in the Devils' favor.
A $10 bet with New Jersey results in a $6.49 profit with an outright win for the Devils.
Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
Risking a tiny wager on the DEVILS ( -1.5, +180) is the play. Minnesota is just 3-9-2 as an underdog. There is danger here but New Jersey has a rare opportunity against a vulnerable opponent.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 5.5 (-139) is a reasonable play Tuesday. The last three meetings in this series have all connected on the Over.
Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a $7.19 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.
