The Hudson River rivalry will see its newest iteration when the New Jersey Devils face the New York Rangers at 7 p.m. EST on Wednesday. Unfortunately, this game will not have any sort of bigger implications, as the two teams are next to each other at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division. The Devils have managed to avoid last place with a 34-31-4 record, while the Rangers sport a 28-31-8 mark.
While fans might not know it from their recent play, most of the Devils' problems have come from a lack of consistent offense. New Jersey ranks fifth-worst in the NHL in goals per game, a factor that is especially egregious when paired with its 22.2 power play percentage, which ranks 10th in the NHL. Olympic hero Jack Hughes has provided an offensive spark in recent games, leading to Jersey's most recent win, a 4-3 overtime affair against the Boston Bruins. A similar performance will be necessary, even against the lowly Rangers, if the Devils are to build themselves a win streak on Wednesday.
Those Rangers have looked far better recently than their record indicates. A string of four straight victories saw a normally dormant offense come alive, scoring four goals in two games and six in the other two. The defense also took a significant step up behind goalie Igor Shesterkin, holding opponents to seven total goals in four games. A home date with the hated Devils is a great opportunity to rebuild some sort of morale in one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory for New York.

Devils vs Rangers Prediction and Pick
Both of these teams have been playing pretty good hockey lately, but the Devils look like one of the hotter teams in the league behind Hughes. The Rangers will be playing this game on their home ice, but that is not enough of a deterrent to stay away from New Jersey in a spot like this one. The Devils should be able to add a rare win to their record on Wednesday. In addition to the Devils' money line, the over is also worth a look, considering how well the Rangers have been playing on offense, too.
