The New Jersey Devils have been one of the hottest teams in the NHL over the past two months, going 17-8 over their last 25 games dating back to late December.

Tonight they’ll travel to play at Colorado, another team that’s been on fire lately. The Avalanche are riding a six-game winning streak coming into tonight’s matchup.

I have some bold predictions for tonight’s game, but before I get into those, you might want to learn how you can use the highest-valued promotion in sports betting at Caesars Sportsbook to insure your bet tonight.

Devils vs. Avalanche Bold Predictions

The Devils and Avs are both red-hot coming into tonight, but one team’s streak is going to suffer a setback tonight.

Oddsmakers are calling this one close to an even matchup, with the moneyline odds for New Jersey and Colorado nearly identical.

I think you could get some awesome value betting on New Jersey, which has been a top-10 team in the NHL offensively AND defensively this season.

Here are some bold predictions you might want to consider for your insured bet with Caesars:

Alternate Total Under 5.5 Goals Scored (+104)

The Devils (6th) and Avs (9th) are both top-10 defenses in the NHL, with each allowing fewer than 2.75 goals per game.

Colorado has hit this under in four of its past six games. New Jersey hasn’t hit this under at all in its past six games, but I expect that to change tonight, especially considering that the Avs are roughly a league-average team in scoring.

Also worth noting, the last time these two teams met, New Jersey came away with a 1-0 win.

Nico Hischier to Score a Goal (+200)

Hischier has been HOT lately, scoring four goals across his last five games. You may be tempted to bet on Jack Hughes here, but at -123 odds, I don’t think it’s worth it.

Hischier averaged 4.5 shots per game over his last six games and could be a viable option to score, especially if the Avs apply extra defensive pressure on Hughes.

Regardless of what you wager on tonight, be sure to secure bet insurance for yourself so you have two chances to win big. Sign up with Caesars today before this offer ends.

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
