Today I have one big winner for you on the ice, with my 71% NHL ICE BREAKER PLAY.
FREE WINNER: New Jersey Devils
For my free winner today, I'm going go to the NHL to the Nationwide Arena, as the Devils face the Blue Jackets. I really think the line is short in this matchup. New Jersey has owned Columbus, taking seven of the last nine, which includes the most recent matchup, only six days ago at home, 5-3. The Devils come in here off a loss, looking to redeem themselves, following a three-game win streak. Meanwhile, Columbus has really struggled. They've dropped five of their last six, including three in a row. By the way, in those five losses, they've been out-scored by a combined 22-5, suffering three shutouts, two of which were in their last two games, both at home. They may account for slightly more goals per game, but right now they're offense is struggling to find the back of the net. I think they're in even more trouble tonight because New Jersey possesses the third-best goaltending in the league, allowing just 2.6 goals per game. Get on this game early because I think the line is going to go up. But I really like the Devils here.
