Edmonton Oilers will look to make it five wins out of five in their current homestand when they welcome the New Jersey Devils to Rogers Place.
New Jersey’s play-off hopes have long since been over, as they have slipped to the foot of the Metropolitan Division.
The hosts should march on and 9.0 for them to win this by four goals is the first of our Edmonton Oilers vs New Jersey Devils predictions.

Connor McDavid continues to inspire the Oliers and has retaken the lead in the NHL scoring race with a hot streak, as Edmonton have won the last four comfortably.
McDavid has five goals and eight points through those games to help the Oilers consolidate third place in the Pacific Division.
He has scored 27 points in his last 18 appearances and has timed his scoring streak to the business end of the season, as Edmonton have recovered from a shaky spell at the beginning of the year.
Head coach Jay Woodcroft is delighted with the all-round contribution of his team in a 6-1 win over Buffalo that elevated them into prime position for a positive playoff seeding.
He said: “I thought we got contributions from everybody, all four lines, three ‘D’ pairs, and (goaltender) Mike Smith was excellent.
“The penalty kill was good, we got a short-handed goal, we got a power-play goal, all facets of the game seem to be firing on all cylinders.
“And because we had everybody going, we were able to spread out the minutes nicely.”
The Oilers are full of confidence and 2.15 for another hot start to win the first period offers value from the NHL odds.
The Devils head to Edmonton after a pair of 6-3 defeats on their swing through western Canada.
They came out empty handed from back-to-back reversals in Vancouver and Calgary on Tuesday and Wednesday night.
Devils coach Lindy Ruff felt for young goaltender Nico Daws following that loss to the Flames.
Daws allowed four goals on 19 shots before being replaced in the second period by Jon Gillies.
“I put Nico through a pretty tough test,” Ruff said. “Probably an unfair test for a young goaltender.
“Physically, playing back-to-back is tough. Mentally, getting prepared for every game is tough.
“We’ve asked a lot of him, probably unfairly I’ve asked a lot of him.”
It could be another long night for the Devils against the high-powered offence of the Oilers and 2.55 for a home win with over 6.5 total goals is the last of our NHL predictions.
