The Penguins are 5-0 in their last 5 road games and 19-7 in their last 26 overall. The Devils are 17-36 in their last 53 home games and 30-63 in their last 93 overall. The over is 5-2 in Penguins last 7 vs. Eastern Conference. The over is 4-1 in Devils last 5 overall. The Penguins are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in New Jersey and 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have been dominant in the favorite role this season, and they’ve had no problem beating up on the Devils in recent meetings. The New Jersey Devils have been fade material pretty much all season long, and playing at home hasn’t helped them much. I can only side with the Penguins here, and I’ll take the PL for max betting value.
