Flames vs Devils

Hot Spark Could Ignite the Prudential Showdown

Calgary Flames

Harvey (31-25-11) VS N.J. Devil (37-26-6)

Mar 20, 2025 | 18:00 ET | Prudential Center

New Jersey Devils
New Jersey, Moneyline (-178): B+

Jesper Bratt has been the offensive catalyst for New Jersey in Jack Hughes absence, guiding a turn around in form with a 4-1 run in their last five games, while Calgary arrives having just broken a three game skid. Current active rosters suggest both squads remain mostly intact, though the Devils still miss Jack Hughes' presence on the ice. Historically, the Flames have struggled to secure road wins at the Prudential Center, and the Devils’ steady defensive structure has repeatedly frustrated Calgary’s attack in those matchups. Combined with the home team’s renewed confidence, New Jersey appears primed to deliver a solid return on the -178 line. Despite the Flames’ potential for surprises, the Devils’ recent momentum and past success justify a B+ pick with encouraging profit potential.

Over/Under Pick: Over 5.5, (+120) - B+
Nazem Kadri is set to anchor the Calgary Flames, who recently snapped a brief slide and are searching for consistent offense against the New Jersey Devils, a team boasting a modest winning streak but coping with the lingering absence of a key blue-liner. Historically, Calgary has found trouble stifling quick-strike Eastern Conference opponents, and New Jersey’s top-six forwards tend to exploit defensive lapses with rapid puck movement. Expect the Flames’ power play to spark some scoring, while the Devils’ balanced attack should hold its own, pushing the total past 5.5 goals—a wager graded B+ for both predictability and solid potential return. Ignite the scoreboard!
Puckline Pick: Calgary Flames, -1.5 (-170) - B+
Nazem Kadri has been a bright spot for Calgary (31-25-11) as they look to end a brief skid and get back on track against New Jersey (37-26-6). Having confirmed active rosters, the Flames appear to be missing a notable forward due to a minor ankle injury, while the Devils have remained mostly healthy but recently ended a two-game win streak. Historically, Calgary has fared well against visiting Eastern Conference opponents at home, giving reason to believe they can cover the -1.5 spread. The pick is graded B+ due to a solid chance of success, and a winning bet carries a worthwhile reward at these odds.
