Calgary have been inconsistent in their recent outings, securing 3 wins and suffering 2 losses. The team currently sits 12th in the standings and is eager to climb higher to break into the top ranks. They average 2.63 goals per game, but at home, they tend to score a bit more-around three goals per match.

New Jersey Devils Team Overview
New Jersey have secured two wins in their last four games, yet overall, they're having an inconsistent season. This instability is reflected in their standing, as the Devils find themselves near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, only above the Rangers, who are undergoing a major rebuild.
The team concedes more than three goals per game, which is a worrying statistic for the New Jersey side. However, this could also suggest a bet on the total goals over 5.5 in this matchup.
