The New Jersey Devils will have the upper hand in their next game versus the Detroit Red Wings. The Devils have had a solid start to the season, going 5-3-1 and sitting second in the Metropolitan Division. Their attack has been powerful, averaging 3.56 goals per game and scoring 10 in their previous two games. Stefan Noesen, Timo Meier, Jesper Bratt, Nico Hischier, and Jack Hughes contributed significantly to the offense’s success. However, the Devils’ defense has failed, allowing an average of 3.11 goals per game, while goalkeeper Jacob Markstrom has struggled with a.902 save percentage and a 2.99 goals-against average. Despite these defensive issues, the Devils have shown resilience and a strong offensive form in their recent games.
The Detroit Red Wings, on the other hand, are off to a good start with a 3-3 record, and back-to-back victories have placed them back in the center of the Atlantic Division. However, their attack has underperformed, with an average of 2.50 goals per game. While players like Dylan Larkin, J.T. Compher, and Alex DeBrincat have shown potential, the remainder of the offence has struggled. Despite this, the Red Wings’ defense has done impressively, allowing just 2.83 goals per game, with standout performances from Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, Ben Chiarot, and Justin Holl. The performance of these key players could significantly influence the outcome of the game.
Given these considerations, the total bet of over 6.5 goals for this game is a potential chance. With the Devils’ strong offense and the Red Wings’ solid defense, the outcome of this game is far from certain, adding an element of excitement for the fans and bettors.
