New Jersey vs. Carolina: NHL Match Prediction
On November 22, the NHL championship will feature a match between New Jersey and Carolina. The Devils have shown excellent results since the start of the season and are at the top of the standings. However, the Hurricanes also look great this year and are on a three-game winning streak. However, bookmakers still consider the home team to be the favorites. However, is it worth betting on the Devils' success? You will find out from our forecast.
Command Analysis
New Jersey Devils
USACurrent form
New Jersey is one of the top three teams in the Eastern Conference and has managed to score 26 points in total. Last month, the team faced a series of four defeats and could not find its game. After that, it pulled itself together and had a very good stretch. Earlier, the Devils dealt with Florida twice on the road (4:1 and 6:2), but then lost to Tampa with a score of 0:4. At the same time, in the confrontation with the Lightning, they were left without goals, which is completely uncharacteristic of their style of play.
Let us emphasize that at the moment Sheldon Keefe team remains one of the most productive in the league and averages at least three to four goals per game. Incidentally, the team is also one of the best in the league in power play and ranks sixth in this indicator, currently having a 28.6% power play rate.
It should be noted that the "Devils" play a variable attack due to the fact that they have versatile, skilled forwards who are able to take over the game at any moment. The second twenty minutes are usually the most successful for New Jersey, during which they get more space and have 28:17 in goals scored and missed.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lazar, Bastian, Pesquet and Meyer will not play in this match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- New Jersey averages 9.73 penalty minutes
The Devils are not known for their discipline and are often sent off five times per match
- According to statistics, the "devils" make 30 shots on target
The Devils play great offense and try to make shots from everywhere.
Carolina Hurricanes
USACurrent form
Carolina has gained excellent form and has broken into the conference standings leaders. The Hurricanes have earned 16 points in ten games and are in fourth place in the East. Rod Brind'Amour men had a great end of October and continue to please fans with decent results. They are currently on a successful series of three victories. Before that, they dealt with Ottawa (4:0), St. Louis (4:1), and also proved their superiority on the road against Philadelphia (4:1). At the same time, the team continues to demonstrate extremely reliable play in defense and usually manages with less than three goals conceded.
Carolina has been scoring at least three goals for five games in a row. In this regular season, the Raleigh club has only gone without at least three accurate shots twice. Martin Necas has broken into the top ten scorers in the league, scoring 30 points (11+19) in the goal+pass system. The closest pursuer is Sebastian Aho, who has 17 points (5+12).
Petr Kochetkov is gradually getting into shape and for now he has taken over the status of the Hurricanes' main goalie. The Russian has blocked 90% of the shots on his goal and usually allows no more than two goals per game.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jesper Fast, Frederik Andersen and Seth Jarvis will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- Carolina is averaging more than 35 shots per game.
The hosts take a huge number of shots in each of their matches and convert 10.9% of their chances.
- The Hurricanes are winning 49.4 percent of their faceoffs this fall.
The hosts try to be better than their opponents in all aspects of the game, including on the spot.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In two of the three previous matches between the teams, the first period was not productive
2.02Bet 3rd period: Carolina will score
The visitors have scored at least one goal in the last four matches
1.30Tip and bets
We think that Carolina has every chance of a favorable outcome in the upcoming match. The Hurricanes are currently in no way inferior to their counterparts and are beating opponent after opponent. They look more reliable in the game than their counterparts, and with this style of play, the Devils will have much fewer opportunities to get two points. Previous meetings between the clubs also often ended in favor of the Hurricanes. Considering that they are currently on a winning streak, it is worth betting on their success.
Prediction - Carolina win for 2.55
Bet on individual total
New Jersey has not scored a single goal in two of its previous four games. Carolina has not conceded more than twice in its previous five games against the Devils. In general, the Hurricanes have been extremely reliable in defense and often manage to keep goals to a minimum. The visitors have also conceded very few goals in the last three games, so it makes sense to bet on the home team individual total.
We take the individual total of New Jersey under 2.5 goals for 2.35
Total Bet
Previous meetings between the teams were often ineffective, largely due to the fact that Carolina itself played well in defense and did not allow the opponent to score much. In addition, the four previous matches with its participation ended with fewer than six goals scored. The Hurricanes will play in a similar vein in the upcoming confrontation, so we would not expect a large number of goals.
We bet on total under 6.5 goals with odds of 1.65
