There were just 3 NHL games in action last night, but we have some of the league's best teams on the ice. Now, we get to follow that up with a huge Thursday evening. There's a lot still to be settled in terms of the postseason sports, especially in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, in the Eastern Conference, it's all about seeding for the top teams and 2 Wild Card spots. That should make tonight's matchups all the more interesti ng. We've checked out each one and found the most valuable plays to piece together for an incredible payout to potentially cover your bets for the weekend ahead.

New Jersey Devils 3-way ML (+125) over New York Rangers
One of the first games of the night features 2 of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. These Metro Division rivals have already clinched their playoff berths, but there is still a lot to be desired in terms of the seeding. This will be the 4th meeting between these teams, and we've had great matchups each time. The Devils have the slight advantage in those previous meetings, winning 2 of the 3 by a combined score of 12-10.'
This one may be another close contest, but we'll trust New Jersey on home ice. The Rangers are likely riding high after their 6-2 win on Tuesday, but that was against the NHL's worst team in the Columbus Blue Jackets. On the flip side, the Devils will be looking to bounce back. However, they faced a great defensive team in the New York Islanders and have had off since that Monday matchup. With two stout goaltenders, we're likely in for a low-scoring matchup. With goals difficult to come by, the superior offensive firepower of the Devils should make the difference.
