Rangers vs Devils prediction

Rangers vs Devils best bet: Jack Hughes Over 0.5 assists (-130)

Jack Hughes is carrying the New Jersey Devils offensively. Despite the team’s offensive struggles, he has assisted on at least one goal in 14 of his last 20 games and tallied 19 along the way.

His playmaking should be on full display against the New York Rangers. They have allowed an average of 4.10 goals over their last 20 games and 4.67 spanning their past 10 road dates. They’re bleeding goals.

Hughes also has a remarkable track record against New Jersey’s biggest rivals, picking up an assist in eight of the last nine head-to-head meetings.

Rangers vs Devils same-game parlay

Arseny Gritsyuk was recently moved up to Jack Hughes’ wing, which has resulted in more ice time. He has played 17+ minutes in back-to-back games.

For reference, Gritsyuk has cleared 1.5 shots in 74% of his appearances when logging 14 minutes or more. Seeing that much ice with an elite playmaker like Hughes bodes well for his shot volume.

Adam Fox has registered at least three shots on goal in five straight against New Jersey. He also enters in good shooting form, averaging 5.2 attempts over his last five contests.
