The New Jersey Devils (55-30-6-9) pulled a big upset in Game 4 to keep their slim Stanley Cup hopes alive against the Los Angeles Kings (61-34-5-4), but they’ll need 3 more consecutive victories if they want to be known as the season’s champion. Game 5 is on Friday and the action will start at 8:00 PM ET from the Prudential Center where the Devils are 30-15-2-4 on the year despite losing Game 1 and Game 2 to the Kings in identical 2-1 final scores in overtime.

New Jersey will be a -110 on the money line here, while the Kings are also listed at similar odds to lay claim to a Game 5 victory. The Devils won 3-1 in Los Angeles as a +165 underdog after falling 0-4 on the road in Game 3. The total has gone under in 7 straight head-to-head meetings between the Kings and the Devils, and Friday’s line is set low at only 4.5 goals.
Both of these teams have displayed excellent defense during their postseason runs, but the Kings are playing on a level higher than anyone in the sport. They’ve allowed just 1.40 goals per game on average over their last 10 contests, while New Jersey comes in at 2.30 in the same statistic.
Los Angeles also has an offense to complement their shutdown defense, and the Kings have scored an average of 2.60 goals per game over their last 10 contests. New Jersey has had a few misfires recently and averages 2.00 goals scored over their last 10 games. The Devils have been hit-or-miss on offense recently and have scored 3 or more goals in 5 of their last 10 games. The problem is that they’ve scored a total of just 2 goals in the other 5 games during that streak.
