The first meeting was an easy UNDER as San Jose won 1-0 on Nov. 10, and the Sharks are on a current 3-0 UNDER run while scoring a total of three goals in that span. The Sharks have averaged only 2.11 goals in their past nine games while not scoring more than three goals in any of them. New Jersey is 12-2 UNDER its past 14 games, and it has scored just four goals in its past three games, including a 3-0 loss to Los Angeles on Wednesday. The Devils have stayed UNDER five of six road games, and San Jose is 5-1 UNDER against the Metropolitan Division. Jacob Markstrom is probable for the Devils, and he has a 2.15 goals-against average this season. New Jersey is 10-1 UNDER against Pacific Division teams. Take the UNDER.

Premium Picks
New Jersey at San Jose
New Jersey was embarrassed at home on Dec. 1 when it lost 6-3 to San Jose and that was when the Sharks owned a 5-18 record. The Devils will want to avenge that loss and they will likely have Nico Daws in net and he had 23 saves in a 4-3 win over Montreal on Saturday. Mackenzie Blackwood is probable for the Sharks and he is 9-18-3 with a 3.51 goals-against average. San Jose is 4-19 its past 23 games as a home underdog of at least +201 and the Sharks have lost 42 of 51 after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. San Jose has lost five of six following a 4-2 defeat against Nashville and the Sharks have scored only 17 goals in eight games. The Devils have won nine straight as road favorites of -201 or greater and they have won four of five after a home loss of at least three goals. Take the Devils.

Premium Picks
San Jose at New Jersey
A difficult situational spot for struggling San Jose, 3,000 miles from home playing its third straight road game. The defense is 23rd in goals surrendered while the offense has scored the second-fewest goals (1.83 pg) and along with the second-lowest scoring percentage. New Jersey's offense is averaging 3 goals per game and the Devils play their third home contest in four games. New Jersey comes off a pair of wins over Anaheim (4-2) and at the NY Islanders (4-1), so back home ice. Play New Jersey.
