Here's a brief preview of the game:

New Jersey Devils

• Recent form: 4-2-2 in their last 8 games
• Strengths: The Devils have a strong defense, led by P.K. Subban and Damon Severson, who are both averaging over 20 minutes of ice time per game. They also have a potent power play, converting 23.5% of their chances.

Minnesota Wild

• Record: 25-15-5 (55 points)
• Recent form: 5-3-2 in their last 10 games
• Strengths: The Wild have a high-powered offense, led by Kevin Fiala, who has 44 points in 45 games. They also have a strong goaltending duo in Cam Talbot and Kaapo Kähkönen, who have both been playing well.
• Weaknesses: The Wild's defense has been a concern, allowing 3.1 goals per game, which is 22nd in the league. They also struggle on the power play, converting only 18.5% of their chances.

Head-to-Head

• The Devils and Wild have met 14 times in their history, with the Wild holding a 7-5-2 advantage.
• The Devils have won 3 of the last 5 meetings between the two teams.
• The Wild have outscored the Devils 34-29 in their 14 meetings.

Prediction

This should be a tight, low-scoring game between two teams that are evenly matched. The Devils' strong defense and potent power play will give the Wild's offense trouble, while the Wild's goaltending duo will try to shut down the Devils' offense. In the end, I think the Wild's offense will be just enough to edge out the Devils in a 2-1 or 3-2 victory.
