New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/23/24

The New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils kick off a new week in the NHL with an important Metropolitan Division battle. These two met at the start of December, when the Devils blew out the Rangers by a score of 5-1. Not much has changed in either team’s trajectory, but our Rangers vs. Devils will help set the score for this game.

Since their most recent matchup, the Rangers have posted a measly 3-6-0 record, while the Devils have earned a strong 5-2-1 record. I see this trend continuing, in a Devils victory. There is a major dark cloud in New York. A poor record of 16-16-1 has them outside the playoffs, so they have begun trading off key pieces, and they cannot find consistency and confidence anywhere in their game. Morale and momentum are at an all-time low for this team who was expected to contend for the Stanley Cup, and while nothing is set in stone yet, time is running out. New Jersey on the other hand is on home ice, and are feeling great about themselves, as they are within grasp of the Eastern Conference lead. This Devils team is well-balanced, and are finally taking a step as a powerful NHL team. For this afternoon tilt, we are siding with the Devils on the money line for our Rangers vs. Devils prediction.
