New Jersey Devils vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction & Picks - NHL

 by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks

The first game in the NHL 2025 schedule will be disputed next January 1st at 05:00 pm CST when Los Angeles Kings clash against New Jersey Devils. For this game it’ll be mandatory for both teams to win due to their most recent results, a combination of factors that generates a big expectation around the possible spectacularity of this game.

On the one hand, Los Angeles Kings have been continuously battling against Vegas Golden Knights for the top spot of the Pacific Division, however they just recently cut off with a streak of 3 games without winning in regulation time after their victory over Philadelphia Flyers (5-4). In this regard, it must be remarked that this team is the best defensive in the Pacific Division with just 95 conceded goals.

On the other hand, New Jersey Devils have been crossing through a very bad performance during their most recent away games against Carolina Hurricanes and Anaheim Ducks, so they aren’t really expected to remain at the top spot of the Metropolitan Division by the end of the regular season. Nonetheless, it’s undeniable that they’ve one of the best offensive lines in the league, so the negative results aren’t expected to last forever.
