New Jersey’s Offensive Push at Home

New Jersey comes in at 40-34-3 with a 20-15-3 home record. Recently, they have won over Montreal, Washington, and Chicago while recently losing to Montreal and New York. This reflects a team that can score but is occasionally inconsistent.

The Devils average 2.78 goals per game while allowing 3.03. They take 29.8 shots per game and allow 27.4. Their power play is strong at 22.4%, with a penalty kill of 79.5%.

New Jersey’s biggest strength is their shot volume and power play efficiency, which can create sustained pressure in the offensive zone.
