New Jersey Devils vs Carolina Hurricanes Predictions 5/11/2023

 

The New Jersey Devils are facing a must-win situation on the road on Thursday. They have only managed to score more than a goal in one game this series, which they won.

 

The Devils are taking 34.4 shots on goal per game, and they will look to Jack Hughes to lead them to victory. 

 

In the net for the New Jersey Devils will be Akira Schmid, who has lost his last two starts, allowing 7 goals in total.

 

Schmid has 2.13 goals against average with a .922 save percentage, but the Devils’ defense has been struggling, allowing an average of 2.71 goals against per game.

New Jersey Devils vs. Carolina Hurricanes. The NHL Pick for this contest is the Carolina Hurricanes. The Hurricanes are unstoppable as they return to their own arena with a chance to end this series.

 

They have dominated the series so far and they will surely thrill their home crowd on Thursday. Back the home team in this game. New Jersey’s best shot at getting back in this series was game four, but that’s come and gone.

 

The Devils do play their best hockey on the road, but Carolina plays their best at home and I think the Hurricanes get it done and advance to the conference finals here. Prediction: Carolina Hurricanes win 5-2.
