Intriguing NHL action is set for Jan 29, as the Nashville Predators travel to the NJ Devils. Find the picks for the clash here.

DATE & TIME
Devils Need to Address Defensive Concerns
The New Jersey Devils have lost back-to-back games under Sheldon Keefe, but they still hold interesting playoff claims after accumulating a winning record of 27-24-2 this term.
They come into this home game after going 5-5-0 across their last ten, but defensively, they will need to improve based on their previous two outings.
The Devils have conceded eight across losses against the Seattle Kraken and Winnipeg Jets, while they have also allowed at least four goals in each of their last three, and four of their last six.

Preds Hopeful of a Response
The Nashville Predators will also have issues to address in the NHL this week. They have suffered back-to-back defeats, with their most recent coming in overtime against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.
That loss means that they have now conceded 16 goals in their last four. However, they have also shown offensive quality over that period, scoring five against the Ottawa Senators last week, and netting four in their previous two.
The Preds have been largely consistent on the road this season, going 10-11-2. Steven Stamkos leads the team with 24 goals, while Ryan O’Reilly has amassed a team-high 50 points.
| TOTAL | Predators | Devils | DRAWS | |

| GOALS | 227 | 111 | 116 |
Predators vs. Devils Picks
The Predators and Devils have both underperformed defensively in recent games, and that should ensure that this is a wild matchup. However, the narrow preference is for the Preds, who have a strong head-to-head record against their opponents.
