This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the New Jersey Devils.

The Jets are coming off a satisfying road victory and I think stumble today against a determined home side. In fact, Winnipeg has won five of its last six, but I think is prime for a letdown tonight. New Jersey got off to a massive start but has since gone just 1-3-2, most recently it was humiliated 8-3 at Pittsburgh on Tuesday: "We beat ourselves," coach Peter DeBoer said afterwards. "I thought we were in a pretty good place for awhile there and as a group we beat ourselves over the last 35-40 minutes." Winnipeg has won three of four following a four-game slide; after going 1 for 28 on the power play, it went 2 for 4 on Tuesday's 4-3 road win over the Isles. Note though that this is also a revenge game for the home side after the Jets took both games last year, outscoring the Devils 6-1 in the process. I think the road finally catches up to Winnipeg today and look for NEW JERSEY to take advantage.
