Devils vs Rangers Betting Prediction
Both teams have done well in the last few games and are potent enough to win this game. New Jersey was a better team for most of the season and have a great away record, which puts them at an advantage.
While New York have shown signs of improvements, their poor home record and low scoring in the last could be their undoing. Thanks to their better team strength, New Jersey should take this close game.
