The New Jersey Devils host the St. Louis Blues tonight at the Prudential Center and will look to put an end to a mini two-game losing streak. The Devils may be a nice surprise in the NHL but they will get no pats on the back when playing the St. Louis Blues. The Blues have been dominant this season and have owned the Devils in their last 10 matchups, going 9-1 SU.
- Blues goaltender Jake Allen is tied for 2nd in the NHL with 8 wins.
- The total has gone UNDER in 8 of St. Louis’s last 11 games on the road.
- New Jersey is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 games at home.
It’s not just the Devils that the Blues have gotten the best of. St. Louis currently leads the standings in the NHL and has gone 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games. Forward Jaden Schwartz is lighting up the scoreboard for the Blues and is fourth in the scoring race with 20 points in 15 games. Their -1.5 puckline (+230) needs to be seriously considered by bettors as St. Louis is showing no signs of slowing down. They’re winning by an average margin of 1.75 goals per game in 11 victories this season.
The Devils, on the other hand, lost back-to-back games during their trip to Alberta and despite getting victories in four of their six games at home this season, they’ve been an awful puckline wager in their barn, going 1-5 ATS. Devils backers should only consider placing a wager on their moneyline, which opened at +118. Bettors will be interested to know that the Devils are 5-4 SU as a dog this season.
The total opened at 5.5 goals and bettors should consider taking the OVER. The total has gone OVER in four of the Devils’ last five games at home and overall. Not to mention the Devils and Blues both average over 3.33 goals per game this season and this is shaping up to be a decent wager for bettors to get a payout.
