Find the answers to these questions in the forecast
Command Analysis
New Jersey Devils
USACurrent form
New Jersey leads the Eastern Conference standings with 30 points. The team has played more games than its rivals, but its achievements should not be underestimated. In previous years, it was one of the main outsiders and even last season it was left outside the playoff zone. If it continues to play in the same spirit, such a fate will definitely not await it. Note that in four of the previous five meetings, the Devils were successful. After two successful games against Florida, they lost to Tampa (0:4), but then dealt with Carolina (4:2) and Washington (3:2), who had regained their form.
It should be emphasized that Sheldon Keefe team maintains an excellent balance between defense and attack. Usually, no more than two pucks end up in their net, and in response, they score at least three or four goals, especially when playing with the support of the home crowd. The leading scorer in the team is Jesper Bratt, who earned 28 points in the goal + assist system, but Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes have also already surpassed the 20-point mark.
It should not be forgotten that the "devils" show a great game in the majority and currently have a 31% conversion rate, occupying the second place in the league in this indicator. They are most powerful in the second twenty minutes, during which they score many goals and currently have 31:17 in goals scored and goals conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lazar and Bastian will not take part in the upcoming fight due to injuries.

- New Jersey has scored 31 goals in the second period of the entire season
The Devils are second in the league in goals scored in the second period.
Nashville Predators
USACurrent form
Nashville is having a hard time getting points. The team is in 14th place in the Western Conference and has only scored 17 points so far. It hasn’t been able to improve its position and get out of the basement of the standings. For a month now, it hasn’t been able to win more than one victory in a row and is often on a losing streak. The Predators are currently alternating successful matches with defeats. Earlier, they couldn’t handle Calgary (0:2) on the road, then they dealt with Vancouver (5:3) and again lost to Seattle (0:3), and upon returning to their home arena, unexpectedly for many, they dealt with Winnipeg with a score of 4:1.
Note that the instability of the Predators is also observed in their efficiency. From time to time they have successful matches in which they use their moments well, but in many cases they cannot open the opponent defense more than twice. But in the majority, Andrew Brunette team plays decently and currently has 22.7% of the extra man conversion rate.
However, the second period often goes in favor of the opponent, and in it the club has a ratio of 17:24 in goals scored and goals conceded. It is also impossible not to mention that Nashville is not doing well in away games, since up to now it has managed to win only two victories, although it has already played ten games.
Disqualifications and injuries
Michael McCarron will not play in the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nashville wins 53.4% of faceoffs
The Predators are at their best at the point and are taking many faceoffs
- Statistically, the Predators receive 9.48 penalty minutes.
Nashville is not known for its good discipline and usually commits at least five fouls.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of four matches involving the home team, the first period was productive
1.80Bet 2nd period: home team win
In three out of four matches, the hosts kept the second period for themselves
2.40Tip and bets
We think that Nashville has little chance of a favorable outcome in the upcoming confrontation. The Predators have been playing rather poorly on the road this season and often lose in regulation time. New Jersey has no problems with the roster and continues to demonstrate very powerful results, dealing even with obvious leaders. Previously, the Devils did not experience serious difficulties when meeting such opponents and achieved success within 60 minutes. In addition, the Predators themselves continue to alternate victories with defeats, and they do not have enough strength to win two victories in a row for a month.
Prediction - New Jersey win for 2.10
Bet on individual total
New Jersey has managed to score less than three goals in four of its previous five games. Nashville, in turn, often faces scoring problems and cannot even score three goals. On average, the Predators score 1.8 goals per game on the road, so it is far from certain that they will be able to score three goals in the confrontation with the Devils. However, we suggest you play it safe and take the whole total.
We bet on Nashville individual total under three goals with odds of 1.60
Total Bet
Matches between the clubs are often productive and have more than five goals scored. New Jersey remains one of the most productive clubs in the league and averages at least three to four goals, especially when playing on home ice. Two of the last four games involving the home team also ended with a total over.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.72
