The Devils are coming into this game with a 26-15-5 record this season, but they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 6 of their last 8 games and both of their wins in that span were in very close 1 goal games. They are coming off of a 2-1 loss at home in a shootout against the Panthers and now they are going on the road here, losing 6 of their last 7 road games. Their offense has not been good on the road recently either, scoring 2 goals or less in each of their last 4 road games and only scoring 6 goals total in those 4 games. They are going up against a Leafs team that is 27-16-2 this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 3 straight games and their offense has been awful in these, scoring just 1 goal in their last 2 games. They are coming off of a 4-1 loss at home against the Stars in their last game and that was a game where they took a 1-0 lead but allowed 4 unanswered goals to lose. The Leafs have lost their last 2 games at home, but they have been a much better team at home this season and did win 3 straight games prior to theiur last 2 losses there. This is also the last game of a 3 game homestand which they lost both games during so they are going to be hungry to bounce back and get something from this game. The Leafs will be hungry to bounce back at home here while the Devils have not been playing well recently themselves, struggling to score goals in their road games, and the Leafs will get up for a game against their former head coach as well. The Leafs will win this game at home.
