Jets vs Devils prediction
Jets vs Devils best bet: Connor Hellebuyck Over 24.5 saves (-105)
Winnipeg Jets star goalie Connor Hellebuyck has struggled to the tune of a .892 SV% and 2.83 GAA with just 4.76 goals saved above expected through his 18 starts since returning from a knee injury in mid-December.
He’s in a prime position to improve on those numbers tonight.
The New Jersey Devils have averaged 30.0 shots per game out of the holiday break while also ranking 10th in Corsi For percentage and eighth in shot share at 5-on-5.
With the Jets respectively checking 18th in both 5-on-5 marks and allowing 27.9 shots per game during the same stretch, I’m anticipating Hellebuyck to see plenty of rubber tonight.

Jets vs Devils same-game parlay
The Devils have hit the Under in 17 of their last 25 games, and I’m expecting improvement from Hellebuyck moving forward. Plus, the Jets rank 21st in goals per game and 22nd in expected goals per 60 minutes at 5-on-5 since the holiday break.
The final leg of this SGP turns to Winnipeg center Mark Scheifele, and he’s recorded 2+ shots in six of his past nine games while logging a monster 21:06 of ice time, which includes 2:51 on the No. 1 power-play unit.
