New Jersey has won six of seven and seven of eight on home ice. It\u2019s already 3-0 against Pittsburgh this season, outscoring the defending champs 12-2 over that span. It seems Martin Brodeur and Jacques Lemaire\u2019s stingy defensive system are in the Penguins\u2019 heads.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to figure out the Pens right now. They dominated in early December but have looked sluggish as can be of late, losing three of four. They blew a 3-0 lead in Buffalo last night. Evgeni Malkin also may not be 100 per cent. He had a hat trick on December 3 but has only scored in one of his last six games. To compete with the suffocating Devils, Pittsburgh needs Geno at the top of his game.<\/p>\n<p>Led by Zach Parise, the Devils are quietly getting the offense they need. They\u2019ve scored three or more goals nine times in their last 12 games and should give Brodeur enough support to extend their record against Pittsburgh to 4-0 on the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NHL Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games on the road<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 7 of Pittsburgh&#8217;s last 10 games when playing New Jersey<br \/>\nPittsburgh is 6-3 SU in its last 9 games when playing on the road against New Jersey<br \/>\nPittsburgh is 6-3 SU in its last 9 games<br \/>\nNew Jersey is 7-1 SU in its last 8 games at home<br \/>\nNew Jersey is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games<br \/>\nNew Jersey is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games when playing Pittsburgh<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 5 of New Jersey&#8217;s last 7 games <\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick: Devils -150 <\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/record.bettingpartners.com\/_TcMlrmSOeQxhg6WO2I1rgWNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT BODOG.COM&#8217;S NHL HOCKEY BETTING LINES FOR TONIGHTS MATCHUPS!!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<em><strong>Shea Matthews lives and breathes sports.
