New Jersey's defense stumbled badly this season vs. last year's at #20 in goals allowed. The Devils have lost nine in a row while allowing 26 goals. Arizona doesn't play much defense either, at #29 in goals allowed, and #26 in penalty killing. Arizona stumbled through a nine-game skid of its own in mid-season, but is playing at a .500 level over the past seven weeks (10-9-2) as the offense has gotten it going. All of which means more scoring than oddsmakers anticipate. Play this one to finish OVER the total.
