The New Jersey Devils will take on the Vegas Golden Knights at 10 p.m. EST on Wednesday. Despite a successful start, things have taken a negative turn for the Devils, who have lost seven of their last nine games. Meanwhile, the Knights have recently rebounded from a losing stretch of their own to win six of their last seven games, including a 3-1 record on a fairly difficult road trip.
Even with a winning record, there are not many statistical categories that stand out for the Devils. The offense is aggressively mediocre, ranking in the middle of the pack of nearly every single major offensive statistic. The defense has been slightly better but remains a statistically uninspiring unit. A huge reason the Devils have been able to maintain a winning record is their 6-1 mark in overtime games, a stat that is notorious for regressing to the mean throughout the season, making New Jersey a prime candidate for regression as the season goes on.
Regression is likely to start in this game, especially seeing as the Knights dominate Jersey in essentially every statistical category. Vegas sports an elite offense and a defense that might not be fantastic overall but specializes in limiting shot opportunities for opposing teams, tying for first in the NHL in that category. Another factor is the aforementioned momentum the team carries into this contest, something that the Devils sorely lack.

Devils vs Knights Prediction and Pick
Neither team has reliably covered the spread this season, but the urge to take the Knights is just too tempting here. They encounter one of the few teams in the NHL that is dealing with more injuries than they are, and the Devils have fraud written all over them. It also helps that Vegas will play in front of its home fans, giving the Knights yet another leg up. Take Vegas to find another cover on the road.
