This matchup features a significant disparity in team form and home-ice advantage.
Key Factors to Consider
- New Jersey Devils: 14-7-1 overall (29 points), ranked 2nd in Metropolitan Division, dominant at home (8-0-1). St. Louis Blues: 7-10-6 overall (20 points), ranked 3rd in Central Division, struggling on the road (4-5-2). The Devils have won 8 consecutive home games, demonstrating exceptional home performance.
- Limited recent head-to-head data available in search results. Historical matchups would need deeper analysis, but the Devils' home dominance suggests they typically perform well against division rivals regardless of matchup history.
- No specific injury information provided in available search results. Current roster availability cannot be definitively assessed without additional medical report data.
- The Blues are operating with a significant winning percentage deficit (0.452 vs 0.654 for Devils). St. Louis has lost their last 4 games heading into this matchup. Travel burden on Blues potentially impacts performance. Devils' undefeated home record represents exceptional consistency.
- Devils motivated by maintaining perfect home record and commanding divisional position. Blues seeking to reverse losing streak and improve dismal away record. Significant performance gap suggests Devils have stronger intrinsic motivation as conference leaders.
