A pair of Eastern Conference elites are set to battle on Wednesday night when the Toronto Maple Leafs travel to the Garden State to take on the streaking New Jersey Devils. Read on for our Leafs-Devils picks and predictions.
The Devils are perched atop the Metropolitan Division, just two points shy of the Boston Bruins for first place in the NHL. They're a runaway freight train on a 13-game winning streak.
Although not nearly as consistent or dynamic, the Maple Leafs are 6-1-3 over their past 10 games, including a 3-2 loss to the Devils on Nov. 17.
Will the Devils stretch their winning streak to a remarkable 14 games? Or can the Leafs upset the apple cart and start a winning run of their own?
