New Jersey had a very successful last season, the team scored 112 points in the regular season, taking 3rd place in the Eastern Conference, in the playoffs the team reached the 1/4 finals of the Stanley Cup, showing high performance.
Detroit in recent years is one of the outsiders of the NHL and can not get into the playoffs. Detroit spent the off-season quite well, so the plans for the new season are quite ambitious, the team refreshed its roster this summer, so is a "dark horse" at the start of the new season.
New Jersey is nominally considered the favourite, but still at the start of the season in the NHL sensations happen quite often, so it is better to bet on the total, as New Jersey also demonstrated a very aggressive game in the summer.
Prediction: at least 6 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 5.5" bet, odds 1.46
