The New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils will meet 3 times in March, with the first matchup of the month coming on Saturday afternoon at the Prudential Center in Newark. The Devils have been among the lowest-scoring teams in the NHL all season long, but they seem to be finding a groove. New Jersey has potted 12 goals over its last 3 games, and the core forwards of Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt have just 1 of those goals. They have still been involved, dishing out 8 assists in that span, but it’s only a matter of time before that group starts finding the back of the net again. The Rangers aren’t a strong defensive team, and this could be the right matchup to get things rolling.

On the other side, the Rangers have found much more offensive success on the road than at home this season. New York is averaging a league-low 2.17 goals per game at home, but that number increases by nearly a whole goal to 3.13 on the road. The Rangers also have a bit of offensive momentum on their hands, as they picked up their first home regulation win since November 24 with a 6-2 defeat of the Maple Leafs on Thursday. They have now scored 13 goals over their last 3 games and seem to have a favorable matchup against New Jersey goaltender Jacob Markstom, who owns a less-than-ideal .888 save percentage and 3.05 goals-against average on the season. Make it a small play, but look to the over.
