New Jersey Devils vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction: We're still going to believe in New Jersey

Prediction for the NHL New Jersey Devils vs Tampa Bay Lightning match will occur on January 12. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

New Jersey Devils

Something broke for New Jersey after the Christmas break. The Devils have lost five of their last six games. Considering the team hasn't had a run like that in a long time, it seems strange. The day before, after a 3-2 loss to Seattle, the Devils unexpectedly lost 3-2 overtime to the Rangers. Unsurprisingly, New Jersey's position in the Eastern Conference standings has also suffered - they now sit in fourth place with 54 points.

Tampa Bay Lightning

Tampa Bay is having an extremely shaky season. It's already clear that the Lightning won't make it past the first or second round of the playoffs unless they start putting together some systematic results. They are sixth in the East with 46 points. After four straight defeats, John Cooper's players regained their composure and beat Carolina 3-2 and Boston 4-1.

Expert Betting Tips

We're still going to believe in New Jersey going into the meeting. The Devils haven't been great lately, but the day before, they beat Seattle and picked up a point against the Rangers - they're starting to get back on track. On the other hand, Tampa Bay has been anything but consistent, and the Lightning's two wins the day before means nothing. The Devils are also very good at home, where they have won five of the last five meetings.
