Battle of the New's - Bonus picks inside

Can the Devils build off their momentum after a solid win over the Pens? Will the Rangers get things on track after a low scoring snooze fest against the Flyers? We’ll find out tonight when the Rangers face off against the Devils in a short road trip to New Jersey.

These teams mirror each other’s record with the Rangers 4-6 when away and Devils 6-4 at home. The model is giving the Devils a decent venue advantage score, pushing the odds in their favor. Advantage Devils

The Rangers have done fairly well on the road after 1 day of rest, with a record of 16-12. The Devils have also found success at home after 2 days of rest, sitting at 8-6. Slight Advantage Rangers

Both goalies have very similar stats, while the Keith Kinkaid slightly edges out Lundqvist in both save percentage and even more so against the average. Kinkaid also has more success at all levels of shots from high to low danger and the Rangers have struggled with high danger changes which is a nice added bonus. Advantage Devils

The model has the Devils with a major advantage, giving them a 64.03% win rate to the low 35.97% chance by the Rangers. The best news is the books are giving us a 58.48% implied probability for the Devils making this a strong play.
