PREDICTION SCREEN

RAW likes New Jersey Devils +1.5 puck line.

WHY RAW LIKES IT

  • Confirmed Jake Allen versus John Gibson's weaker early results modestly favored New Jersey remaining competitive.
  • Detroit was missing Marco Kasper, J.T. Compher, and Mason Appleton, reducing center depth and secondary scoring.
  • Detroit had scored 10 goals in five games entering the matchup.
  • New Jersey's principal expected top-six creators were available.

BIGGEST CONCERN

New Jersey was on the second half of a back-to-back after playing Ottawa the previous night.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG

  • New Jersey was without defenseman Johnathan Kovacevic, reducing blue-line depth.
  • New Jersey's own early offense had been limited, with 11 goals in five games.

BOTTOM LINE

Confirmed Jake Allen versus John Gibson's weaker early results modestly favored New Jersey remaining competitive. The concern: New Jersey was on the second half of a back-to-back after playing Ottawa the previous night.
