Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 18. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

NJ Devils

New Jersey has been in a slump lately. Up until December 29, the Devils were doing great, and wins were literally pouring in, but then things went downhill. Thus, they managed to suffer seven defeats in the past nine games, which is a catastrophic number. The day before, they lost twice again, but they didn't leave without points - 1:2 with Florida in a shootout and 3:4 with Toronto in overtime. Even with these results, New Jersey's standings are very solid - the team is third in the Eastern Conference standings with 58 points.

PHI Flyers

Philadelphia, on the other hand, has been on the upswing lately. They still can not achieve any stability. It would seem that the Flyers are starting to get things going, but after that they are again followed by a series of failures. After four straight losses, they finally managed to pull themselves together - they scored points in four straight games (three wins and a shootout loss to Columbus (2:3)). After that, the Flyers had a classy matchup with the Islanders (5:3). In the overall Eastern Conference table, Philadelphia is only on the 12th line, and for a place in the wild-card, you need to keep a winning attitude.

H2H Meetings

New Jersey and Philadelphia have played each other once this season in the preseason, and the Flyers were stronger then (5:4).

Moreover, Philadelphia has been in great shape lately, with three wins in the past four games and one loss only in a shootout. In face-to-face meetings, the Devils also do not have any advantage, because in the past six they have only one win in regulation time. Here we'll put our faith in John Tortorella's team and risk taking their three-goal lead for great odds.
