Devils vs Mammoth Predictions and Picks
New Jersey is 24th in scoring, 16th in goals against, 10th on the power play, and 28th on the penalty kill. Jesper Bratt leads the team in assists and points. The Devils' defense has given up two goals or fewer in three straight games and is playing well against the Western Conference teams. Dawson Mercer has been a top goalscorer with 10 goals and provides valuable playmaking as the second line center. The offense has been inconsistent, and they will look to get that production up again.
Utah is 14th in scoring, 13th in goals against, tied for 26th on the power play, and sixth on the penalty kill. Mathew Barzal leads the team in assists. Dylan Guenther leads the team in goals scored. The Mammoth have won three of their last four games and the offense is trending up. They are currently ranked ninth in the league in goal differential and goaltender Karel Vejmelka has been a steadying force in net, leading the NHL in wins with 15. Utah has lost three of their last four at home, and they just need to tighten up that defense like they just did against the Red Wings.
Best Bet: Devils Money line
New Jersey just had a good road win in a tough Vegas environment, and they are playing well on defense. Utah just had some high-scoring wins on the road but have lost some close games in their last home stretch of games.
