The NHL will have a huge challenge for Pittsburgh Penguins, as they’ll face New Jersey Devils next Saturday night at 06:00 pm CST. This Intra-Divisional game is extremely important for both teams as they need to win in order to keep competitive in the Eastern Conference, however it must be noted that New Jersey Devils are the huge favorites to win according to the bookmakers’ odds.
With that in mind, the Devils must try to take full advantage of playing this key game at home, being relevant to noting that they lost the top spot of the Eastern Conference after their surprising defeat against Columbus Blue Jackets (4-2). In addition, it must be remarked that they still have played more matches than any other team in the league, so they’re forced to win as many games as possible to at least ensure a spot in the top 3 by the end of the regular season.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh Penguins have successfully recovered from the awful streak they had during the beginning of the season, however they must get a positive result from this game if they want to keep competitive for the seventh and eighth spots of the Eastern Conference. Despite this, it cannot be forgotten that they still are the worst defensive in the conference with 127 conceded goals.
