NHL
New Jersey has the worst power play in the league, operating at just 12 percent. In the last 13 games, they have used just two of 34 opportunities. The season-long absence of key players, whether due to injury or the covid pandemic, is largely to blame. Currently missing are captain Nico Hischier, forward Jesper Bratt and defenseman P.K. Subban, all important players on the power play. The Devils have scored only 15 goals in their last 7 games and now Pittsburgh, which boasts one of the best shorthanded lines, will face them. Currently, the Pens have defended 34 shorthanded games in a row, the third-longest streak in franchise history. For the season, they have a 93 percent success rate, which attacks the all-time NHL record. At the same time, since Dec. 1, they have allowed an average of just 27 shots on goal, fourth best in the league, and have conceded an average of just 1.86 goals per game, the best rate in the league. In sum, the Devils won't score many goals tonight.
My bet:
Total Goals: New Jersey Devils - Under 2.5 @ 1.75
