Once again, an NHL game is being touted to produce a high goal tally despite solid defensive efforts from both teams coming into the contest. It's simply hard for Vegas to overlook the excellent offense of New Jersey and Chicago, who come into Wednesday's 9:30 p.m. EST faceoff at United Center with a combined 19 wins and 107 goals on the season.
There could well be fireworks when the Devils visit the Blackhawks. Chicago has won three games in a row, all on the road, coming into its midweek home game with New Jersey. The Devils have only lost once in regulation in their last five contests. But why are the Devils the betting favorites over an 8-5-3 host?
Maybe because New Jersey has its own streak going in the head-to-head matchup with Chicago. Plus, it's substantially longer than a three-game streak. The Devils have beaten the Blackhawks six straight times, covering the spread in each and every one of those victories.
Spread
- Devils -1.5 (+162)
- Blackhawks +1.5 (-180)
Money line
- Devils -147
- Blackhawks +139

New Jersey Devils vs Chicago Blackhawks Predictions and Picks
Chicago's special teams loomed large on the Blackhawks' sunny road trip. As reported by The Big 1050, "Chicago is 5-for-7 on the power play and 10-for-10 on the penalty kill during the winning streak. Sunday's 5-1 romp at Detroit featured goals on the man advantage from Connor Bedard and Tyler Bertuzzi."
Goaltender Jake Allen, next up to start for the Devils on Wednesday, can trust a New Jersey penalty killing unit that ranks sixth in the league with an 85.7% mark. If Connor Bedard and the Blackhawks' young forwards keep drawing penalties, it may not be as dangerous for the Devils as it seems.
Chicago's defensemen have combined for just four goals on the season so far. On the road, they're more likely to pass to the Blackhawks' more skilled forwards for man-advantage chances close to the crease. At home, with United Center's fans screaming for defensemen to shoot the puck, their inexperience may show in the form of forced shots and lost possession. The savvy Devils are a solid bet on the road.
