Our pick: New Jersey – NY Rangers: 1

23.12.2024 19:07

The last NHL game day before the Christmas break will offer an interesting duel between New Jersey and the New York Rangers, two teams that have completely different form, but it is a spicy derby. After all, the two clubs’ sanctuaries are only 16 kilometres apart across the Hudson River.

The home team is clearly in a better starting position, having won four of their last five games and currently tied for the Eastern Conference lead with Washington and Florida. The Devils’ game is decorated with a pretty solid defense, which has its fluctuations, but that’s the case with all teams in the league. For now, the upsets have been noticeably more, which is the most important thing for New Jersey.

The Rangers, on the other hand, are struggling. Enough has been said and written about their tragic form and disintegrating roster. All this is best illustrated by the record over the last month, during which the Rangers lost twelve games and won only four. The team’s Achilles heel at the moment is the offense, which is unable to assert itself enough in most games. Not many games are won in the NHL with one or two goals scored.

What to bet on:

The Devils can storm into first place in the Eastern Conference before the Christmas break. They’ve already played the Rangers once this season, winning 5-1 at MSG. They will build on that win at home.

Confidence:

8/10
