Take #37 Devils over Flames
(NHL) New Jersey vs. Calgary,
Money Line: -119.00 New Jersey (Away)
Result: Win
The struggles of November appear to be firmly in the past for the New Jersey Devils. The Devils continue their four-game road trip with a Saturday matinee contest against the Calgary Flames having won the first two games, the latest a 2-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Thursday. New Jersey, which struggled last month in big part due to injuries, has won five of six outings. That is not the only good news for the Devils. The arrival of 2022 second overall draft pick Simon Nemec has paid dividends. His first career NHL goal, in just his third game, was the game-winner against the Kraken. The Flames consistently cannot draw first blood and score first, and we think the Devils get the scoring started early, and continue to pour it on. Let's roll with New Jersey here. Calgary are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games when playing at home against New Jersey. New Jersey are 17-3 SU in their last 20 games against an opponent in the Pacific Division division.
