New Jersey -½ +250 over CHICAGO

8:35 PM EST. Regulation only. The Blackhawks are coming off back-to-back wins over Winnipeg and Colorado respectively but prior to that, they had dropped five of six. It is a rare night when the Blackhawks outchance the opposition and it’s also a rare night when their defense has a good game. Since November 17th, a span of five weeks, no team in the NHL has played more games than Chicago’s 18 played over that span. The Blackhawks are 7-11 over that span and also ranked 23rd in puck possession during five-on-five play. After playing more games than anyone over the past five weeks and returning home from a trip to Winnipeg and Colorado, it’s a great time to fade the Blackhawks. 

The Devils have very little market credibility these days but prior to losing 5-1 to the Jackets on Saturday, they won two of three games. They also played Colorado, Nashville and Dallas tough despite losing. On December 6th, the Devils lost 2-1 to the Blackhawks in OT where the scoring chances were dead even and so, too, were the shots on net. These are two bad teams but they’re very even in terms of all the under-the-hood numbers and in this case, the Devils are in a better situational spot. In a 50/50 game, we’re thrilled to get the Devils to win in regulation at this outrageous price against a very beatable team in a bad spot.
