— Florida Panthers (@FlaPanthers) January 14, 2025
The Panthers are slightly the underdogs to win, which is a great opportunity for bettors looking for appealing odds, this plays into their odds as well as trend of the bets made so far. The total for this match is set at 6.5 which from the history of these two teams playing in New Jersey suggests that it is likely to be a high-scoring game.
Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky vs. Goaltender Jacob Markstrom
The goaltending responsibilities for the Florida Panthers rest with Sergei Bobrovsky, who has played thirty games and has a save percentage of 0.899. He also has shown that he can hold the fort but given his dismissive stats this season and going against the strong Devils offense, things are bound to get critiqued.
Conversely, Devils Jacob Markstrom has been a great force between the pipes having a 0.911 save percentage across 32 outings. This is one of the key factors for the Devils’ performance, most importantly at home, where they have won in their last six attempts.
When these two goaltenders meet on the ice, it comes down to a major save or a tiny error that could change the game. Bobrovsky will have to counter Markstrom’s unwavering defensive record and his strong performance at home by showing his battle-hardened mental strength. Most probably, this goaltender battle would be the main factor in influencing the contest as it is quite evident that both these goalies can determine the match in its entirety.
Panthers’ Prowess and Recent Performances
The Florida Panthers, spearheaded by Sam Reinhart’s incredible 49 points from 43 matches, have proven their ability to score high however their consistency remains a slight concern. Looking at their last two games, one of them was a close loss against Boston, while the other was a dominating win against Utah, hence resulting in a tie. This inconsistency in results and gameplay seems to be one of the major deciding points in the current matchup and they have a tough task against a strong home team like the Devils.
Devils’ Dominance and Recent Skirmishes
The New Jersey Devils are a force to be reckoned with, especially in their home games. Players like Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt have been doing remarkably well for the team, with Hughes scoring an incredible 52 points. While the devils won their last game at home against the Tampa Bay team, they lost the previous outing against the Rangers. To ensure they extend their streak of wins at home, it will be important for the team to learn to recover from such losses.

Taking into account the recent results, as well as the history of recent matches between these two sides, the expectations of goal totals in this game appear to be high, and that is especially so with the teams’ tendencies to hit the OVER when meeting at the Prudential Center. However, given the remarkable defensive efforts lately, more particularly on the part of the Devils, it might be wise to back UNDER in this case.
As it seems, the home record of the Devils and the latest road games of the Panthers indicate that New Jersey could be the team to win this match. The projected points on prop bets, as regards totals of goals for Hughes and Reinhart, make it worthwhile, given the two are an important part of the offense strategy for their teams.
Score Prediction: Devils 4, Panthers 3.
