Chicago Blackhawks vs. New Jersey Devils Prediction, Odds and Tips

The New Jersey Devils host the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday afternoon looking to extend their winning streak to two games. They will have a very good opportunity to do so when they face the worst team in the league. The Blackhawks have a record of 9-18-2 with a goal difference of minus-20 this season. This is an extremely one-sided matchup when it comes to scoring. The Devils average 3.31 goals per game compared to the 2.45 goals per game the Blackhawks average. Their offensive depth is among the strongest in the league and they should have no trouble shutting down the only real offensive threat the Blackhawks have in Connor Bedard. The Devils also have the league’s top-ranked power play unit at 30.9%. Make sure they convert when the opportunity presents itself. In two meetings with the Blackhawks last season, the Devils won both 4-2. I believe they are the better team this season, so I expect a similar result.

The Blackhawks haven’t shown any signs of improvement lately and things won’t get any easier against the Devils. When you look at their roster on paper you wonder why this is an NHL team, and you see it on the ice too. I expect a stunning victory for the Devils. Take New Jersey to win by two goals or more.
