Devils vs Blues predictions
As the New Jersey Devils gear up to face off against the St. Louis Blues, all eyes will likely be on Jesper Bratt, who has been on fire this season with 41 points already in his pocket. There’s a good chance he’ll be a key playmaker once again on the ice. His teammate, Nico Hischier, who's leading the team with 16 goals, also seems poised to keep the momentum going and perhaps even notch a goal or two himself. Given their strong road record and these top performers at their best, the Devils have the offensive edge they need to potentially dominate the game.
On the flip side, the St. Louis Blues are definitely feeling the absence of Robert Thomas, a crucial playmaker who’s currently on injured reserve. However, Jordan Kyrou, with 27 points including 13 goals, stands out as the Blues’ best bet for sparking anything offensively. If Kyrou can maneuver past the Devils' defense, there's a chance to tilt the ice in favor of the Blues. It’ll be interesting to see how he handles the pressure, especially with the home crowd behind him at the Enterprise Center.
Taking all of this into account, the prediction leans towards the New Jersey Devils extending their road victory streak. Their offensive power, spearheaded by Bratt and Hischier, combined with the Blues missing key player Robert Thomas, gives the Devils a noticeable advantage. Plus, considering the Devils' impressive road record this season, they seem well-positioned to come out on top in this matchup. Let’s see if the Blues can pull an upset at home, but the smart money might be on the visitors this time around.
