Betting Preview:
The New Jersey Devils hold the edge in tonight's matchup with a -145 money line and a recent 3-game SU winning streak. Their performance has been solid, with a 7-3 SU and 5-5 ATS record in their last 10 games, and a 48.98% SOS over their last seven games.
On the other hand, the Tampa Bay Lightning have been struggling lately, with a 3-7 SU and 2-8 ATS record in their last 10 games. They have a 44.9% SOS in their last seven games, suggesting a more challenging schedule compared to the Devils.
The total for tonight's game is set at 6.5, with both teams showing a 65% Confidence of Going Over (C.O.G.O). However, recent trends suggest that the under may be the better play, as the Devils have hit the under in three consecutive games, while the Lightning have hit the under in two of their last three games.
Considering the Devils' recent form and home advantage, they seem to be the favored pick in this matchup. However, the Lightning could bounce back with a strong performance, making for an exciting and potentially high-scoring game.
