Hurricanes at Devils picks and predictions

Prediction

Devils 4, Hurricanes 3

Moneyline

LEAN DEVILS -110. 

This is your riskiest bet for this game.

These 2 teams are both very good and evenly matched, but I think the Hurricanes are simply too hot coming into this game. Because of this long winning streak combined with the fact they already beat the Devils once, I think the Devils are the perfect team to bring the Hurricanes back down to Earth.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS. 

This Devils +1.5 would be your best bet for this game if it wouldn’t cost you 3 times your investment.

Whether New Jersey wins or loses this game they should at least be within 1 goal of the Hurricane. The Devils are the underdog here only because of the Hurricanes’ win streak, which I understand, but these teams are both highly talented and are divisional rivals. This should be a fantastic game to watch and no matter which team wins it should only be by 1 goal.

Over/Under

BET OVER 5.5 (-130). 

These teams both have fantastic goalies coupled with high scoring, electric offenses. This is a matchup of 2 divisional rivals who sit atop the division and are playing each other for the 2nd time in 2 weeks so expect for this game to be electrifying and high scoring.

Carolina Hurricanes at New Jersey Devils odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Carolina Hurricanes at New Jersey Devils odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Hurricanes (27-8-2) visit the New Jersey Devils (14-19-5) Saturday at the Prudential Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Hurricanes vs. Devils odds and lines, and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

The Hurricanes are one of the hottest teams in the league and have recorded eight wins across their last 10 games, including three straight victories. Carolina excels at both ends of the ice and rank fourth with 3.6 goals per game and first with 2.3 goals allowed per game.

The Devils season is trending in the opposite direction as they’ve recorded just five wins across their last 18 outings. New Jersey has played just three games in the last two weeks as it has had three matchups postponed due to issues surrounding COVID-19.

Hurricanes at Devils projected goalies

Frederik Andersen (21-6-0, 2.03 GAA, .928 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Mackenzie Blackwood (9-9-3, 3.29 GAA, .894 SV%, 2 SO)

Andersen has been solid between the pipes recently. The veteran backstop has taken just one loss over his last 11 starts dating back to early December, and has allowed just 1 goal in six of those appearances.

Blackwood has become a liability for the Devils — he’s 4-6 with an .870 SV% over his last 10 starts and has allowed 3 or more goals in nine of those games.

Hurricanes at Devils odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Hurricanes 5, Devils 2

Money line

The Hurricanes (-190) are likely the right side of this meeting. However, having to bet nearly two times your potential return — and in particular on a team playing the second end of back-to-back games — is a risky investment.

Look instead at the 3-WAY REGULATION TIME WINNER HURRICANES (-130) for a partial-unit play on the top team in the Metropolitan Division to finish it in 60 minutes against the division bottom dwellers.

Against the spread

The second game of back-to-back nights is concerning for me in this regard. Andersen has shouldered a lot of the load with backup G Antti Raanta sidelined and he could be feeling the weight of all that work.

Anderson hasn’t played on back-to-back nights all season but Carolina has seemed hesitant to start rookie Jack LaFontaine.

This is an AVOID from me there’s not enough value on the ‘Canes by 2 or more goals to make the wager worthwhile given the situational concerns.

Over/Under

The Hurricanes are nearly pushing this number on their own a lot recently — they’ve potted 5 or more goals in six of their last 10 outings, including two games in which they’ve hit the 7 goal mark.

Between Carolina’s offensive prowess and New Jersey’s sloppy defensive play and goaltending, I think you can take a partial-unit play on the OVER 6.5 (-102) or if you’re so inclined you can wait it out to see if the number dips back down to 6 for some insurance with a push.
