New Jersey shows a good game this season, although the fight in the Metropolitan Division for playoff spots is always the toughest in the NHL.
Washington after a bad start has already started to improve its tournament position, in 11 games the team has scored 12 points, reducing the gap from the playoff zone to 3 points.
The teams have already played each other in the new season, the victory on home ice went to Washington with a score of 4-6. So the guests may well make a little sensation today. New Jersey is the most productive team in the Eastern Conference - the team's average total is 7.4 pucks per game. Washington doesn't score as often, but still Spencer Carbery's men need to get ahead tonight if they don't want to fall out of the playoff race.
Prediction: at least 7 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 6.5" bet, odds 2
