Command Analysis
New Jersey Devils
USACurrent form
New Jersey is in the sixth position of the Eastern Conference. The team should never relax, as it may find itself in seventh position at any moment. The Devils were once one of the main leaders in the standings, but those days are far behind. Now they have more or less come to their senses and have begun to please the fans with positive results more often.
In the previous four out of five matches, they also celebrated success. So, they managed to beat Columbus (5:3) and Edmonton (3:2) on their ice, after which the club lost heavily to Pittsburgh (3:7) on the road, but in the final confrontation with the uniforms he pulled himself together and won with a score of 2:1, while demonstrating a reliable playing defensively and getting off with just one missed puck. We should pay tribute to the goalkeeper, Jake Allen, who had an incredibly huge amount of work in that match, but he managed 45 shots.
Let's emphasize that, as a rule, the best performance of Sheldon Keogh's team is the second segment, in which he has a 78:51 ratio in scoring and conceding goals and is great at neutralizing threats at his own goal, playing with distant benches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hamilton, Siegenthaler and Hughes will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- New Jersey gets 8.25 minutes of penalty time per match
- According to statistics, the Devils make 28 shots on target.
Calgary Flames
CanadaCurrent form
Calgary remains outside the playoff zone so far and is on the tenth line of the Western Conference, but it is literally two points away from the top eight, so the club is already able to recoup this small gap in the near future. However, the team has been showing very unstable results for a month and cannot possibly win more than one victory in a row, often staying on unsuccessful streaks.
The Flames got out of a similar three-game losing streak quite recently. We emphasize that they lost at home to Vancouver (3:4B) and Colorado (2:4), and then lost to Toronto on the road with a score of 2:6. Nevertheless, in the away match with the Rangers, Ryan Husky's squad celebrated success with a score of 2:1 and missed only one goal, not allowing the opponent to create anything really dangerous at their own goal and allowing them to make only 13 shots.
However, Calgary itself often faces problems in creating and implementing chances, especially when playing on foreign grounds, so on average it scores no more than two goals on the road.
Disqualifications and injuries
Backlund, Manta and Kirkland will not be able to help their team in the upcoming confrontation.
Interesting betting trends
- Calgary gets an average of 9.52 minutes of penalty time.
- According to statistics, the lights perform 22 power moves per match.

In four out of five matches, the hosts scored goals in the third period.
1.42Tip and bets
New Jersey must not let the Flames beat them on their home turf. The Devils are in pretty good shape at the moment and have completed most of the fights in their favor. The Lights are playing rather poorly on the road this season and are often inferior within the regular time. Kif's team, in our opinion, looks better than its counterpart in both defense and attack, so we suggest betting on its success.
Prediction - New Jersey wins in 1.95
Betting on an individual total
We don't think Calgary will be able to score three times in this game. As a rule, the lights show mediocre performance on a visit and are usually limited to two abandoned goals. The Devils, in turn, rely on playing defense, and that's why they didn't concede three times out of five in the previous three meetings. We think that this time the hosts will be left with less than three goals conceded.
We're betting on Calgary's individual total of less than 2.5 goals with a kf of 1.65
Bet on the total total
Matches involving New Jersey this season are not particularly spectacular and usually take place with less than six goals scored. Calgary, for its part, is also not used to operating on opposite courses. That is why the previous match between the clubs ended with only three goals scored. We expect to see something similar in the upcoming meeting.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.75
