The set-up: The Devils had a 2-0 lead over New York in the second period yesterday, but it stubmled and ended up losing 3-2. Enough is enough here for New Jersey, which is clearly a team that has plenty of issues, but which won't be lacking motivation today after losing three in a row and eight of its last ten. Note that four of the Devils last five games have been decided by a single goals, which proves that NJ is in fact trying its hardest.

The pick: Would anyone fault the Isles for a bit of a mental letdown here after eight straight victories? And with a much more high-profile game in the Nation's Capital on Tuesday, this is also a "look-ahead" spot the visiting side. The home side does not have that luxury though, as we can expect it to risk life and limb here to get into shooting and passing lanes to try and earn an elusive victory. Lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance.

This is a 6* PUCK-LINE DESTRUCTION on the Devils.
