Yes, big favorite here but lots of reasons to back them as I think the Devils win this game 8 or 9 times out of every 10 it's played. NJ has won 4 of 5 games, allowing just one of those opponents to score more than 2 goals. Chicago has lost seven in a row, scoring a total of 3 goals in the last five games. Teams off 2+ straight wins vs. an opponent off 4+ straight losses are 43-11 (80%) over the past five seasons. Too little offense for Chicago against too much defense for New Jersey.
