New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 4/4/25, 3:20 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 4/4/25 at 11:25 PM in NHL Picks

The first game in the NHL calendar for next Saturday morning corresponds to the clash between New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers, teams that will face at 10:30 am CST. In this matter, both have a big obligation to win this game as none of them are already qualified for the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, however it’s notorious that the Rangers will have more pressure as they currently are out of the playoffs’ spots.

Coming back to review the performance of New Jersey Devils, they currently hold a streak of 2 victories in a row that allowed them to remain 1 point above Ottawa Senators. Nevertheless, not winning this game could take them down to the seventh spot of the Eastern Conference, which is an undesirable position that would reduce their chances of competing in the playoffs.

Meanwhile, New York Rangers also hold a streak of 2 victories in a row, but that wasn’t enough to equalize Montreal Canadiens in the eighth spot of the Eastern Conference. Taking that into consideration, the Rangers will need to increase their defensive effectiveness as they’ve conceded 226 goals throughout the season. With those numbers in mind, it makes sense to find out that they were only able to win 1 out of their last 4 games.
