Result: Loss
Money Line: 170.00 New Jersey (Away)
Result: Loss
Value play here on the Devils, who have short revenge for a 2-1 home overtime loss to the Oilers from five days ago. Edmonton scored the winning goal off a power play following a controversial penalty on Travis Zajac.
The Devils are taking to the road following three consecutive losses. They should put forth a focus and motivated effort here especially Taylor Hall. He's returning to Edmonton after spending his first six years with the Oilers. It's a good time for the Devils to get out of New Jersey.
Not only do the Devils have a goalie edge with Cory Schneider, but they also catch the Oilers playing for the fourth time in six days. Edmonton is 1-8 the past nine times in this situation. Schneider has a 1.60 GAA in 11 starts versus the Oilers
If you discount a 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs, the Devils have given up only five goals in four games.
The big question is can the Devils coax enough offense to come away with the victory? It's worth it in my view - at this big of a price - to find out.
