New Jersey Devils vs Chicago Blackhawks Predictions 4/1/2023

 

Just 2.41 goals are scored per game by the Blackhawks‘ attack this season, and they scored only 10 goals in their previous seven matches.

 

The offense suffered without Taylor Raddysh, Andreas Athanasiou, and Tyler Johnson, who combined for 45 goals and 48 assists.

 

The woeful attack may be shut down by opponents because just four active skaters have 10 or more goals.

 

In addition to the offense’s struggles this season, the Blackhawks’ defense also failed them, surrendering 3.59 goals per game, including 31 in the previous seven contests.

 

As the rest of the team underperformed, Connor Murphy and Seth Jones collaborated for 5.3 defensive point shares, allowing opponents to consistently find open chances on goal.

 

Alex Stalock, who has a.913 save percentage, a 2.86 goals-against average, and 6.1 goals saved over average on 680 shots, was the only player to stand out.

 

  • The total went UNDER in 4 of the Blackhawks’ last 6 matches.
  • The Chicago Blackhawks are 0-7 SU in their last 7 matches.
  • The total went OVER in 5 of Chicago’s last 7 games with New Jersey.

New Jersey Devils vs Chicago Blackhawks. The NHL pick for this game is the New Jersey Devils. The Devils, who are having a fantastic season, aim to dominate the Blackhawks on both sides of the rink.

 

With Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, and the rest of the forward unit bearing the puck into the offensive zone and generating open shots with efficient puck movement while Dougie Hamilton produces shots on goal from the blue line, the Devils, who average 3.43 goals per game, should score a ton of goals against the Blackhawks, who allow 3.59 goals per game.

 

With Dougie Hamilton, Ryan Graves, and the rest of the defense causing turnovers in the defensive zone and cutting down on shooting lanes, the Devils should be able to contain a Blackhawks offense that only scores 2.41 goals per game, giving goaltender Vitek Vanecek plenty of opportunities to make significant saves.

 

The Devils should prevail handily and cover the spread in this game. The New Jersey Devils will win to a predicted score of 8-5.
