Nico Hischier takes center stage as a shot producer in tonight's Devils vs. Blue Jackets predictions and NHL picks.
Nico Hischier has seen his shot volume bump up with Jack Hughes and Dougie Hamilton injured. That will continue against a Blue Jackets team struggling to suppress opposing shooters of late. The Columbus Blue Jackets and New Jersey Devils will square off tonight in a game carrying a ton of weight in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
My Devils vs. Blue Jackets predictions expect the star players to shine offensively in what should be a compelling matchup.Hughes leads the Devils in SOG and attempts by a wide margin while Hamilton ranks Top-6 among NHL defensemen in both categories.Hischier has attempted at least six shots in four of five games without either teammate in the lineup, including a nine-attempt performance against these That uptick in attempts is noteworthy as Hischier has cleared 2.5 shots in 85% of his games this season when attempting six or more. The volume should continue against the Blue Jackets, who have allowed at least 28 shots on goal in seven of their last eight games. They’ve struggled at 5-on-5 as well as on the penalty kill, ranking Bottom-5 in shot suppression in both game states over the past 10. Hischier has been much more of a focal point on the power play, leading the Devils in shots and attempts on the man advantage without Hughes and Hamilton. It’s a great positional matchup for Hischier as well. The Blue Jackets have conceded the fourth-most shots to centers over the last 10 games. Hischier had five shots on goal against Columbus just a few games ago and will get the job done once again.is an absolute monster on home ice, averaging a ridiculous 4.3 shots on 7.8 attempts in Columbus this season. Those outputs are far better than what he’s managed on the road, where he’s produced just 2.8 shots per night. The Devils are a strong shot-suppression team that focuses on taking away the middle of the ice, leading to an influx of perimeter shots, which is why they’ve conceded the second-most shots to defensemen over the last 10 games. Columbus is desperate for points and is ramping up Werenski’s usage even more than usual. He's logged at least 26 minutes of ice in eight of his last nine and 28+ minutes in six of seven. Werenski has averaged 4.9 shots on goal per game at home this season when playing 26 minutes or more. I also like his chances of hitting the scoresheet as he's put up 30 points over his last 20 games in Columbus. He has produced 3+ points more times than he’s been held pointless during that span. The Devils have been a little leakier of late, allowing 23 goals over their last six games.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
