Boston Bruins vs New Jersey Devils Prediction and Betting Tips (05.01.2022)

Command Analysis

Boston Bruins

USA

Boston currently are in the 8th position in the Eastern Conference table with a total of 34 points. The team has as many as six games in hand, so they definitely can strengthen their standings in the near future. Impressively, the Bruins haven't lost more than two games in a row this season.

The Bruins played two games after the break. First, they snatched a win over Buffalo in overtime (4:3 OT), and then confidently defeated Detroit (5:1) away. Boston have one of the best defenses in the league and on average concede no more than two goals per game.

New Jersey Devils

USA

New Jersey have earned 31 points and are 12th in the East. The Devils were on a string of six defeats last month, but recently they managed to break it and since then mounted a winning streak of three games.

The Devils beat Buffalo (4:3), and prevailed over Edmonton (6:5 OT) and Washington (4:3 OT) in overtime. The Belarusian forward Yegor Sharangovich scored a goal in each of these three games. In general, Lindy Ruff's charges try to compensate for their weak line of defense by stealthy actions in attack.
