New Jersey vs Edmonton Prediction: the Opponents to Reach the Total Over

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between New Jersey vs Edmonton, which will take place on March 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

New Jersey

New Jersey is on the road to redemption and trying to get back into the top five of the Eastern Conference. At the moment, Sheldon Keefe's team can be happy with sixth place in the standings, with just two points less than the top team, Tampa. The Devils are doing better after losing three games in a row, with wins against Philadelphia 3-1 and Columbus 5-3.

Edmonton

But it hasn't been a great month for this team. They played eight games, but only won two of them. But Edmonton has managed to stabilise things a bit in March, which is a positive. In five games in the new month, the Oilers upset Carolina, Montreal and Dallas, but Anaheim and Buffalo were surprisingly outclassed. The Oilers need to start focusing on getting more points, because right now, their position in the Western Conference isn't great. A team of this level should be fighting for a place in the top three, but they're actually five points behind.

H2H Meetings

In their last five face-offs, New Jersey has the upper hand, winning three times to Edmonton's two.

Expert Betting Tips

We're expecting a spectacular match. Both teams have a strong attacking game. The Devils have scored 198 goals in 66 matches, while the Oilers have 207. They also love scoring against each other in face-to-face matches. In fact, only two of the last ten matches didn't end with the total over. We think it's probably best to bet on the fact that the opponents will make at least six accurate shots in this match.
