New Jersey vs Boston Prediction: the Bruins Aren't Going to Give Up

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between New Jersey vs Boston, which will take place on January 23d. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

New Jersey

New Jersey was doing really well for a long time. The Devils were winning lots of games and often coming second or third in the Eastern standings. They were trying to catch up with the top team, Washington. But on New Year's Eve, things went wrong for Sheldon Keefe's team. In the last 11 games, his players have failed nine times. They are now approaching the match after four failures in a row, and the day before they were 1-2 with Ottawa. This means that New Jersey has dropped down to fifth place with 58 points.

Boston

Meanwhile, Boston has started to gain momentum. The Bears' position in the league is also very unfortunate; they are even out of the play-off spots in the Eastern Conference, with 52 points. They need to improve and can't give up right now. After failing six games in a row, the Bruins have won three out of the last four matches, losing only to Ottawa in a shootout. After that, Joe Sacco's team did well against San Jose (6-3)

Expert Betting Tips

The experts are not confident about Boston winning, but we're not ready to agree with them. New Jersey has had a lot of problems recently. They have not been playing well, having lost nine out of 11 games. The Bruins, on the other hand, have improved lately and have scored points in four out of five games. Also, the Devils find the Bears a tough opponent. In the last six head-to-head matches, the Devils won only once, in overtime. So, we think the visitors will win.
