New Jersey vs Edmonton Prediction: Expect a fun show from the teams

On November 22, 2022, the NHL regular season game between New Jersey and Edmonton will take place at the Prudential Center.

New Jersey

New Jersey is having an awesome regular season. The Devils have been among the NHL underdogs for the past few years, going through a rebuilding process, but now it has ended. All of that immediately impacted the Red and Black, who played in 18 games this season, winning 15 games and suffering three losses. Furthermore, Lindy Ruff's current winning streak has reached the 12-game mark, which has allowed them to climb to second place in the Eastern Conference standings, two points behind the leader.

Edmonton

Edmonton has been playing with mixed success in the current regular season. In 18 meetings, the Oilers have won ten games and lost eight times, which is not too bad, but the level of ambitions of the Canadian team is noticeably higher. Last season the Orange and Blue reached the Stanley Cup semi-finals, so they should be favored to win the league. However, Jay Woodcroft's men are still only seventh in the Western Conference standings, already nine points behind leading Vegas.

Expert Betting Tips

In the current regular championship, Edmonton can not boast consistently good results, losing 10 of the 18 held games. On the other hand, New Jersey has been in phenomenal form, winning 12 previous straight meetings. Of course, that alone makes the Devils the favorites to win, and they've been stronger in two of their last three contests. As a result, we have to place a bet on New Jersey winning the game for 1.67.

The rivalry between New Jersey and Edmonton has been very productive of late. In the three previous three head-to-head encounters, the opponents combined to score 27 goals (9.00 average for the game), which is very high even for the standards of the NHL. And now we have the right to expect a fun show from the teams, and the best option for the prediction looks like Total Over 6.5 pucks for 1.97. In addition, Yegor Sharangovich Total Over 0.5 points for 2.20 is worth considering.
