A special 4/3 premium report wrapped up with a late night ESPN/NBA BEST BET as the Suns not only COVERED the FIRST HALF line versus an “unrested” opponent who had played in ALTITUDE just the night before, Phoenix (-3) LED BY TWENTY FIVE at halftime in an absolute GIFT!! But the big news was a top-rated NHL ON TNT event where New Jersey was in unique TRIPLE REVENGE facing a RIVAL opponent with a player who tossed a dangerous ELBOW TO THE HEAD of one of their players in the most recent meeting, which in turn led to an ALL OUT BRAWL (decided as expected by just a ONE GOAL margin)!!
TONIGHT’S SPECIAL “5 UNIT” REDZONE NATIONAL-TV HOCKEY “PUCK LINE” BEST BET SIDE (New Jersey Devils +1’/-140 on the PUCK LINE at the New York Rangers in a 7:07 eastern faceoff telecast on TNT): After the Devils won a marathon seven-game playoff series last campaign, it is the Rangers who have won all 3 “regular” season encounters this campaign including back in November when New York improved to 10-0-1 (best twelve game streak since way back in 2015). When the Rangers knocked off the Devils in February, they extended the longest win streak in EIGHT YEARS. In March the Rangers again defeated the Devils extending their winning tear to 14-3-2, so New Jersey basically faced New York at the “wrong time”. As recently as one week ago NEW JERSEY was playing their BEST HOCKEY OF THE SEASON
While New York is 3-0 on the campaign outscoring New Jersey by a “combined” 13-to-5, it was the Devils who had MORE SHOTS ON GOAL (93-to-79) while OUTPLAYING the Rangers (five-on-five). The KEY to this wager surrounds New York’s victory in March when Matt Rempe delivered a DANGEROUS ELBOW TO THE HEAD of Jonas Siegenhalter, sidelining him for 2 full weeks and possibly costing New Jersey a shot at the playoffs even though they (fired veteran head coach Lindy Ruff) prior to the stretch run. While any losses hurt against the Rangers, in two different games Rempe delivered dangerous and illegal hits that caused him to get THROWN OUT of the game, yet the Devils (failed to score on both ensuing major penalties)
Coming off consecutive defeats, the playoffs are now out of reach for New Jersey making TONIGHT’S nationally-televised clash arguably (the Devils personal Game of the Year). For the ENTIRE SEASON to date, when off consecutive defeats New Jersey has WON at a “12-4” clip while “permitting” on average just 2.7 goals per contest. The OFFENSE of New Jersey is ranked in the TOP TEN in average goals per game produced (3.28)
