New Jersey vs Edmonton Prediction 13 March 2025
📢 Will the "Devils" continue their victorious march? New Jersey finally broke their losing streak and did so in a big way, defeating their arch-rivals twice in a row. However, a spot in the Eastern Conference playoff eight is still not guaranteed for the "Devils." Edmonton, on the other hand, is struggling to emerge from the crisis that hit the team right after the Four Nations Tournament.
Head-to-Head
In the current regular season, the opponents have already faced each other once. At the very beginning of November, the "oilmen" had a very unsuccessful home game and failed to score a single goal against the "devils" (0:3). The main hero of the match was New Jersey's goaltender Jake Allen, who secured another shutout in his career. Meanwhile, the most productive player was forward Jesper Bratt, who managed to score a goal and provide an assist. However, the current form of the Swede raises some concerns, as he has managed to score points in only two of the last seven games. Nevertheless, the game against Columbus was a breakthrough for him, with the forward managing to score a goal and provide two assists.
Head-to-head statistics New Jersey - Edmonton
New Jersey Devils Team Overview
Sheldon Keefe's team managed to halt their slide in the Eastern Conference standings. The home team, after a series of setbacks, first defeated Philadelphia (3:1) and then Columbus (5:3). These successes allowed the team to stabilize their position and maintain a minimal margin of safety. However, direct competitors like Ottawa and Columbus have two games in hand, which poses potential risks. Injuries to leading defenseman Dougie Hamilton and top scorer Jack Hughes have clearly negatively impacted the results. Currently, the "Devils" have no opportunities to strengthen their roster.
Match Results: New Jersey Devils
Edmonton Oilers Team Overview
The "Oilers" are struggling to overcome the aftermath of the February crisis when they suffered five consecutive losses. Over time, they managed to turn the situation around. In their last five games, Chris Knoblauch's team secured three victories, including a win against a very strong Dallas (5-4). However, the defeat to the main underdog of the East from Buffalo clearly showed that not all problems have been resolved yet. Leon Draisaitl is leading the NHL's scoring list by a significant margin and is almost certain to win the "Maurice Richard Trophy," but the gap in scoring between him, Connor McDavid, and the rest is becoming too large. The Canadian team desperately lacks depth in their lineup, which could soon play a cruel joke on them.
Match Results: Edmonton Oilers
🏒 Projected Lineups
New Jersey: Markstrom - L. Hughes, Pesce - Meier, Hischier, Noesen
Edmonton: Skinner - Bouchard, Walman - Hyman, McDavid, Nugent-Hopkins
🥅 Goalkeepers
New Jersey's goalkeeper Jacob Markstrom has yet to reach peak form after his injury. In the last three matches, the Swede has not once maintained a save percentage of 90%, and the only victory in this stretch, against Columbus (85%), was achieved by his teammates despite his performance in goal.
Edmonton's goalie Stuart Skinner has firmly secured his spot as the last line of defense, but this is unlikely to inspire optimism among Oilers fans. The Canadian has been performing quite poorly recently. In the last six matches, the goaltender has managed to save more than 90% of shots on goal only once.
Editorial Prediction
The matchups between the teams in recent years have been quite one-sided. In seven of the last eight head-to-head games on their home ice in Newark, the "Devils" have consistently secured points. Moreover, the "Oilers" have recently faced significant challenges in away games, failing to win in regulation time in 8 out of 9 such matches. In our opinion, both trends will continue to hold relevance. Sheldon Keefe's team is currently in dire need of points and should at least hold a draw in regulation time. Our key bet is New Jersey will not lose (1X).No comments
