New Jersey Devils Dominate as Boston Bruins Struggle on the Road

The New Jersey Devils have displayed strong performance recently, securing victory in four of their last five games. In contrast, the Boston Bruins have experienced difficulties on the road, losing eight consecutive games. New Jersey's offensive capabilities have been impressive, scoring nine goals in their last three home games and effectively utilizing their special teams by converting over 28 percent of power play opportunities. On the other hand, the Bruins have struggled defensively, allowing 12 goals in their recent three road games and ranking 22nd in the league in penalty kills. With Boston's offensive struggles evident through scoring only five goals in their last three road games and converting just 15 percent of power play opportunities, New Jersey's solid penalty kill defense and minimal six goals given up in their last three home games position them as the better team. A prudent choice would be to support New Jersey on the puck line.
