New Jersey has a winning road record and is holding down the final playoff slot in the Eastern Conference, one point behind Columbus and three ahead of the Florida Panthers. New Jersey has won two of three, off an impressive 3-2 victory at Nashville on Saturday as a big dog. That snapped the Predators' 10-game win streak which tied for the longest in the NHL this season. The Devils have had three full days off and are 7-2 playing on three or more days rest. The Devils are also 8-4 ATS on the road against teams that beat their opponents by 0.3+ goals per game this season. First-place Vegas is home from a five-game road trip on the East Coast and is working on only one day of rest. There is no urgency as the team has a 12-point lead over San Jose with 13 games to play, making this a great situational spot for the rested visitors to pull another upset. Play New Jersey.
