New Jersey at Vegas

Vegas has won six of seven, but it is coming off a five-game trip in nine days. New Jersey is expected to get defenseman Brett Pesce back on the ice after he missed 24 games with a broken hand. The Devils are 5-1 in their past six games, playing with two days' rest. They are 4-1-2 OVER their past seven road games against teams with losing home records. Surprisingly, the Golden Knights have won only seven of 15 home contests while the Devils are .500 on the road. Vegas has gone OVER six of nine home games. New Jersey seeks revenge for a 3-0 loss in the first meeting on Dec. 5. The Devils have alternated wins and losses in their past five games, and they come off a 2-1 loss to Vancouver after defeating Anaheim 4-1. Jacob Markstrom is 8-7-1 and the expected starter tonight. Take the Devils on the puck line, and bet the OVER.
