New York vs New Jersey NHL Betting News

The Rangers and Devils are so close that even our model is having a tough time. New Jersey is tabbed to win 3.31 to 3.28 with a 51.9% probability of victory. Literally, it almost does not get much closer.

Some wonder if either team expects to make changes from Game 6, but that answer is likely no.

Lindy Ruff believes the Devils that we saw at the start of Game 6 disappeared because they spent so much time killing penalties early.

“I thought the penalties took our best players away from the game. They had to spend too much time on the bench. That hurt us."

Surely,  we may see a few less penalties called in Game 7.

New Jersey saw their numbers shift for the Stanley Cup odds at +1400 while New York is now +1600.

Devils vs Rangers Analysis

Both goaltenders handled a differing workload again in Game 6. New York and Igor Shesterkin did not give up the backbreaking goal that would have made it 2-0 New Jersey. He held firm and when the Rangers tied the game very late in the first period, there was a distinct momentum shift.

Now, this was the second time a home team made an emphatic stand in the series. Can New Jersey finish off this trend on Monday night?

New Jersey still has generated more scoring chances, but needs to keep this series at even strength. Even when the Rangers do not score on power plays, it mucks the game up and allows for more North-South play instead of East-West pace.

Yes, Vitek Vanecek saw the net for a few minutes on Saturday, but it is expected Akira Schmid will play on Monday. Game 7 expects to be physical. Can Timo Meier, Nico Hischier, and Jack Hughes lead the way or does New York’s experience come through?

So, this is one game to advance to play Carolina later this week. Who has the stones to win on Monday night?

Can the Devils reverse course and play a little more disciplined? New Jersey played better in most of the first period and third at MSG on Saturday.

Game 7 Rangers vs Devils Prediction

Monday night figures to be a wild time from the Prudential Center. New York wants to continue to make this a special teams’ game while New Jersey needs to skate and generate pace.

Look at how parts of Game 6 went. New York played better from late in the first period until the start of the third. Second period high-scoring chances were 6-0 New York. The rest of the game was 11-4 New Jersey.

On the national stage again, anything can happen in a Game 7. Do the goaltenders steal the show or does the offense?

Rangers vs Devils Game 7 Same-Game Parlay

Again, wait for the live-betting options. Do not force a wager in a Game 7.

Expect a closer game, but do watch for the officiating crew. That may give a clue on how to play this deciding game from a betting standpoint.
