It feels fitting that the Battle of the Hudson has gone to a Game 7. Nothing's easy. These are two dangerous teams, even if Game 6 looked like a one-sided affair for the Rangers. With the action back in New Jersey, expect both sides to come out with their hair on fire as they try to secure the series win -- with the Bruins eliminated, the winner of this series has an excellent chance of going all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals. The Over is hitting in 57% of my model's simulations.

These teams have played 10 games this season, including the playoffs. The Devils are 6-4, out-shooting the Rangers 323-284. New York out-shot New Jersey in only two games. In the other two meetings, shots were dead even. Jack Hughes hasn't scored a goal at home since Game 1. The Devils are 14-3 in their last 17 games after scoring two goals or fewer. Take New Jersey!
