NHL Wagering Online – New Jersey at Detroit Odds to Win. The Detroit Red Wings are favored in NHL wagering online as they host the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night. You can make an NHL bet on this game at Sbg global.com and watch the game on the Versus television network.
Devils Finally Playing Well
The coaching change from John MacLean to Jacques Lemaire has turned New Jersey’s season around. There is no question that MacLean simply didn’t know what he was doing and that the change to Lemaire has given the Devils hope. New Jersey is 6-0-1 in their past seven games. The Devils were 9-22-2 under MacLean. The Devils are not taking nights off and they don’t look disorganized under Lemaire who is likely a future Hall of Fame coach. He gets respect from his players and he gets results. Even Ilya Kovalchuk is playing well as he has eight points in his last seven games. New Jersey started off so poorly that the playoffs are probably out of reach but the Devils are definitely a team to consider in NHL wagering online and you couldn’t say that earlier this season. The Devils are also finally getting good play out of Martin Brodeur who was the NHL’s third star last week behind only Tim Thomas and Steven Stamkos. Brodeur was 3-0 with a 1.34 goals-against average and .949 save percentage last week.
Detroit Just 14-10 at Home
The Red Wings are not unbeatable at home. Their record is just 14-10 and when they are laying money every game that is not a profitable mark. Detroit has actually been better away from home this season.
Game Notes
New Jersey still has poor trends but you have to somewhat discount them since they are a much better team with Lemaire in charge. It is still tough to take them though since they are 15-36 in their last 51 road games. But is should be noted that the Red Wings are 2-5 in their last 7 vs. the Eastern Conference and they are just 1-4 in their last 5 vs. the Atlantic Division. The big trend in this game is that the Devils are 0-8 in the last 8 meetings in Detroit. If you are looking at the total then perhaps the Over is the way to go as the Over is 5-2-2 in the Devils last 9 road games and the Over is 26-9 in the Red Wings last 35 home games.
