The Devils shutout Utah 3-0 on home ice last night, but they now face a quick turnaround on the road when they travel to Carolina on Wednesday.   The Hurricanes have played only one game to start the season – a 1-4 loss to the Lightning last Saturday.   Jesper Fast’s injury is still a slight concern on the defensive side, but off a lengthy break with home ice advantage, I’m happy to take the price on the ‘Canes before their schedule really ramps up.  Bet Now: Devils v Hurricanes Minnesota Wild @ St Louis Blues Tip: Matt Boldy Anytime…

The Leafs took 47 shots last night against Montreal and walked away with a grand total of zero goals.   Growing pains were to be expected under new coach Craig Berube, but there were some good signs in the third period with Auston Matthews and John Tavares creating some chances.   The Devils are back from a lengthy break after starting their season 2-0 in Germany, and they’ll quickly turn to Jacob Markstrom in net after allowing just the one goal in his team debut.   Off a break, this might slightly advantage the Leafs, but for a team that…
