New York Rangers vs. New Jersey Devils Preview, Prediction, and Odds | March 11, 2024

New York Rangers vs. New Jersey Devils Artemi Panarin

It was only a few weeks ago when the New York Rangers beat the New Jersey Devils 5-1 in Newark. Well, the schedule has brought them together again.

Almost a year after eliminating their rivals from the playoffs, the Devils are nowhere near that form. The team fired their head coach and had a busy trade deadline. Jersey is only six points out of a playoff spot yet trending the wrong way lately.

Meanwhile, New York’s busy trade deadline was a result of their Metropolitan Division-leading record. The Rangers are 2-0-0 against the Devils this season but haven’t hosted them since the 2023 postseason. Let’s see what kind of energy that the Garden will bring.

The Hudson River rivalry tends to get heated. How will Monday’s matchup unfold?

Match Prediction

The Rangers have had New Jersey’s number this season, especially with the Devils’ shaky defense. New York has 10 goals in two games against their rivals. Considering that the Blueshirts are sixth in goals against per game (2.00 against the Devils) and one of the NHL’s strongest home teams, the Devils are in trouble.

New York needs this game before embarking on an important road trip, highlighted by a date with Carolina on Tuesday. Every pair of points matters for this team while the Devils are trying to forge an identity for the future. Roll with the Rangers to win this game without needing overtime.

New York Rangers 60 Minute Line (+100)
