Devils at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 4, Devils 3

Moneyline

Winnipeg is 16-5 over the last 21 games of this series and 5-1 in the last 6 meetings at home.

C Nico Hischier (upper body) and C Jack Hughes (shoulder) have been out, and that has hampered the Devils and figures to again in this game. New Jersey has played 4 of its last 5 games on the road and may be a bit road-weary. The club has allowed 32 or more shots in 4 of its last 6 games.

Vanecek struggled in his last start at Winnipeg, yielding 4 goals on 21 shots in 40 minutes April 2. Hellebuyck clocked a .933 SV% in 2 starts against New Jersey last season. This fall, he's been undone by 10 powerplay goals — he owns a solid .911 SV% in even-strength situations.

Consider going with FanDuel Sportsbook to get the best price here. BACK THE JETS (-128).

Puck line/Against the spread

Would want at least a +195 return on a Jets -1.5 play here. STEER CLEAR.

Over/Under

No lean to either side — PASS.
