Blackhawks vs Devils Key Stats
Chicago has been poor on offense and it has been the reason for their poor outing so far this season. Players like Max Domi and Jonathan Toews have scored goals but have been below average overall and lacked enough support.
Their defense is also on the poor side and needs radical changes to get better for future games. Different goaltenders have failed to manage things in front of the goal, conceding over 3.55 goals per game on average this season.
New Jersey have a strong offensive setup and contributions from a trio of Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, and Nico Hischier. They have been the backbone of their offense with over 25 goal contributions each. They are very much settled and should hardly be concerned offensively for them coming into this game.
Their defense has proved its worth by not letting over 2.5 goals per game this season. With goaltenders fulfilling the required objectives, they look very much in control for the upcoming games.
Blackhawks vs Devils Betting Prediction
The matchup is quite a mismatch, given the performances of both teams this season. Chicago have lost more than its half road games and have a poor had-to-head record too.
While New Jersey is strong in every aspect of the game, home advantage further puts them in the commanding position. They are likely to exploit the weak Chicago defense to score enough for a win.
