Carolina Hurricanes at New Jersey Devils Preview & Picks

Carolina are backed to move within one victory of advancing in the playoffs.

The Hurricanes lost both regular season meetings in New Jersey, but overall their recent record against the Devils is strong and the hosts are hardly in great form.

  • Carolina Hurricanes are 9-2 in the previous 11 meetings
  • New Jersey Devils are 1-6 in their previous 7 games
  • New Jersey Devils are 2-7 in their last 9 home games
  • The Under cashed in the first 2 games of this playoff series

Head To Head

  • New Jersey Devils lead the all-time series 94-81-18
  • Carolina Hurricanes won 3-1 when the two teams last met on April 22

Carolina Hurricanes Form

Carolina head to New Jersey holding a two-game lead in this playoff series thanks to back-to-back wins.

The Hurricanes got off to a strong start in the postseason as they took down the Devils at home, 4-1.

They backed that up in Game 2 of the series, running out 3-1 winners to give themselves the upper-hand heading into this latest meeting.

Carolina secured their spot in the playoffs by compiling a 47-30-5 record to claim second place in the Metropolitan Division.

The Hurricanes are in the postseason for the seventh straight year, and during this run they have made the second round each time.

New Jersey Devils Form

New Jersey head back home trailing by two games in the series following back-to-back road defeats.

The Devils came into the postseason in underwhelming form and that continued as they lost the series opener in Carolina, 4-1.

They failed to rebound from that loss in Game 2, with a 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes leaving them 2-0 down heading into their first home game of the series.

New Jersey booked their place in the playoffs by compiling a 42-33-7 record to finish third in the Metropolitan Division standings.

This is only the Devils’ second appearance in the postseason in the last seven years.

Verdict

Carolina have taken command of the series, but can they do what they failed to do during the regular season and win in New Jersey?

We like their chances; they are in good form and not only have the Devils been stacking up losses, they have lost a bunch of recent home games.
