Tampa Bay Lightning vs New Jersey Devils. The NHL pick for this game is the New Jersey Devils. With two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, this will be a fantastic game.

The Devils, who won three straight games, aim to dominate this game on both sides of the rink as the Lightning attempt to pull off the upset on the road.

With Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, and the rest of the forward group carrying the puck into the offensive zone and generating open shots with quick passes near the net, the Devils, who average 3.53 goals per game, should frequently find the goal line against a Lightning defense that enables 3.04 goals per game.

With Dougie Hamilton, Jonas Seigenthaler, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in the defensive zone and restricting shots on goal, the Devils, who only permit 2.64 goals per game, should be able to contain the Lightning offense and give goaltender Vitek Vanecek plenty of opportunities to make crucial saves.

With a solid showing at home, the Devils should prevail and stretch their undefeated run to four matches. The New Jersey Devils will win to a predicted score of 5-4.
