New Jersey Devils vs Florida Panthers. The NHL pick for this game is the Florida Panthers. Hats off to the Panthers, who previously alternated wins and losses for 10 straight games and are currently riding a five-game point run with four triumphs (4-0-1).

They are now only three points behind the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins, who are deadlocked for the first wild card spot in the Eastern Conference despite the Islanders having played two more games.

With the exception of a six-game losing streak in December, New Jersey was outstanding during the whole current season.

But, the team now lost two straight games (both at home against the Tampa Bay Lightning) for the first time since Dec. 23–28.

Even if the Devils have a six-game winning run overall (5-0-1 on the road), do plan on a challenging trip to Sunshine.

The Panthers, who won six of their last seven games against opponents from the Eastern Conference, only lost two of their last nine away games versus New Jersey. The Florida Panthers will win to a predicted score of 5-2.
