MARQUEE MATCHUP: PART TWO

May 1, 2023

PUCK DROP: 8 p.m. ET

KEY FACTS: Devils rookie netminder Akira Schmid stopped 80 of 82 shots in Games 3-5 but was pulled in Game 6 after giving up 5 goals. With regular-season starter Vitek Vanecek having poor performances in Games 1 and 2, this goaltender situation is a big question mark for Game 7.

TRENDING: The Devils enter Game 7 with a +33 shot differential through six games. Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin is 5-1 in elimination games. On the flip side, Devils coach Lindy Ruff has never won a Game 7 (0-4).

INSIGHTS: Rangers moneyline has moved from +100 to -105. While the total has stayed put at 5.5, the over has shifted from +105 to +115 with the under moving from -125 to -136. The over has nabbed 62% of the tickets, however itโ€™s the under that has accumulated 59% of the handle.

PROP PICK: Chris Kreider Anytime Goal Scorer (+175)

After his sixth goal this series in Game 6, Kreider is now tied for the most goals (16) in potential elimination games. Kreider will likely need to find the back of the net in order for the Blueshirts to have a chance.
