The New Jersey Devils and St. Louis Blues meet Thursday in NHL action at the Enterprise Center. The New Jersey Devils need a win after losing 10 of their last 12 games. The St. Louis Blues look for a win after winning 11 of their last 16 games. 

The New Jersey Devils are averaging 2.8 goals per game and are scoring on 17.5 percent of their power play opportunities. Jesper Bratt leads New Jersey with 14 goals, Damon Severson has 18 assists and Dougie Hamilton has 108 shots on goal. Defensively, the New Jersey Devils are allowing 3.5 goals per game and are killing 82.4 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Jonathan Bernier has allowed 26 goals on 264 shots faced, and Mackenzie Blackwood has allowed 70 goals on 663 shots.

The St. Louis Blues are averaging 3.5 goals per game and are scoring on 28.8 percent of their power play opportunities. Jordan Kyrou leads St. Louis with 17 goals, Robert Thomas has 27 assists and Vladimir Tarasenko has 129 shots on goal. Defensively, the St. Louis Blues are allowing 2.7 goals per game and are killing 84.7 percent of their opponent’s power plays.

The Devils are 8-25 in their last 33 road games and 22-48 in their last 70 overall. The Blues are 14-3 in their last 17 home games and 14-6 in their last 20 overall. The over is 13-4 in Devils last 17 road games. The under is 3-1-1 in Blues last 5 overall. The Devils are 0-8 in the last 8 meetings in St. Louis and 5-16 in the last 21 meetings.

The New Jersey Devils have been fade material on the road dating back to last season, and that doesn’t change here. The St. Louis Blues play their best hockey on their home ice, and they’ve been dominant this season in the favorite role. It’s tough to find value in the Devils in these spots. Give me the Blues and the PL to shave down the ML price.
