Chicago Blackhawks: Hit small bump in the road

With 56 points on the season, the Blackhawks are one of the league’s top teams so far. They have hit a tiny bump in the road of late as they have played to a 5-3-2 record in their last 10 games. This is nothing that they cannot overcome, especially since Patrick Kane is playing some of the best hockey of his career. He has a point in 11 consecutive games entering tonight’s contest. If he records a point tonight he will match his career-high.

New Jersey Devils: Moving up the Metropolitan ladder

New Jersey has a 4-4-2 record in their past 10 games played and have won three of their last four games. Jaromir Jagr is starting to get hot for the Devils, recording a point in seven straight games entering tonight’s tilt with the Blackhawks. The next goal Jagr scores will push him past Mark Messier for seventh on the all-time scoring list. With three more points, Jagr will pass Mario Lemieux on the all-time points list. 

We find the betting odds for tonight’s NHL contest between the New Jersey Devils and the Chicago Blackhawks at Bovada.lv. We will bet 10 percent of our bankroll on the host Blackhawks to grab the win over the Devils on Monday night with the -1.5 (+140) spread in Illinois. Chicago should have no trouble grabbing the win at home tonight with the Devils in town, despite them being hot of late.
