Red Wings vs Devils prediction
Red Wings vs Devils best bet: Luke Hughes Over 1.5 shots (-160)
Luke Hughes has generated shots with great efficiency since returning from injury. He has played four games and recorded 2+ shots on target in each, averaging 3.5 per game.
He leads the New Jersey Devils in 5-on-5 ice time since returning, while trailing only Timo Meier in shot attempts.
The Devils are unlikely to get a lot of power-play opportunities in this spot, making even-strength prowess that much more important.
Red Wings vs Devils same-game parlay
Timo Meier leads the Devils — by a mile — in shot attempts, shots on goal, scoring chances, high-danger chances, and expected goals over their six games since the Olympics. Generating a ton of opportunities and playing big minutes alongside Nico Hischier, he’s a likely candidate to hit the scoresheet.
Marco Kasper has averaged 2.2 shots on 4.2 attempts over his last 15 games. With Dylan Larkin set to miss this one with an injury, the young center will have more opportunity to land on his lap.
