Money line

HAPPEN.

The Devils' spread offers better value.

Puck Line/Against the Spread

BET DEVILS -1.5 (+145).

The Devils have triumphed in three of their last four meetings against the Flames, including a 4-2 victory in their last visit to the Saddledome. New Jersey has won its last two road games in Calgary, reflecting its strong road performance from 2023 when it was 21-18-2. In contrast, the Flames had a 21-19-1 record at home last season.

Calgary's goaltending has faltered of late, allowing five goals in each of the last three games. Additionally, Calgary's offense has been limited, scoring two goals or fewer in three of the last four games. With New Jersey scoring 6 goals in each of its last two games, including the 6-0 win over the Canucks, it could be difficult for the Flames to mount a comeback if they fall behind early.

Over/Under

Bet, OveR6.5 (-110).

The goal total has been exceeded in two of the last three meetings between the two teams in Calgary, with eight goals scored in the last meeting in February. New Jersey has exceeded this mark in 5 of its last 6 games.

Both teams rank in the bottom half of the league compared to average, with their goaltenders allowing four or more goals in four consecutive games. Wolf has been struggling lately, conceding 9 goals on his last 62 shots.
