Eastern Conference rivals collide in the NHL on Nov 20, as the Florida Panthers host the New Jersey Devils. Find the odds and picks here.
It has been a professional start to the season for the Devils, as they have won 13 of their opening 19 games. However, a return to form will be required on Thursday following a big defeat in their latest outing.
The Panthers remain sixth in the Atlantic Division, despite having won six of their last ten.
The Florida Panthers have endured a mixed start to the NHL season, as they sit sixth in the Atlantic Division.
However, things have been looking better for the defending Stanley Cup champions in their recent outings, as they have won six of their last ten.
A victory on Thursday could see them move back within striking distance of the top spot in the Division. Last time out, the Panthers recorded an 8-5 win over the Vancouver Canucks, with Seth Jones scoring twice.
The New Jersey Devils have been one of the standout teams in the Eastern Conference so far this season, as they currently sit second in the Metropolitan Division.
They come into this round after winning half of their last ten games, which does indicate that they have struggled with consistency in recent weeks.
Furthermore, a return to form will be required after a poor showing against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday, when the team lost 5-1 on the road.
| TOTAL | Devils | Panthers | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 124 | 69 | 48 | - |
| GOALS | 652 | 357 | 295 |
The Devils have been slightly inconsistent in recent weeks, and that would be a slight concern ahead of this game on the road.
The Panthers have been in solid winning form across their last ten in the NHL, making a home win an appealing angle when making Devils vs. Panthers picks.
