The next game day of the NHL season starts with an interesting match between New Jersey and Philadelphia. The start of the game of these teams is scheduled for November 29 at 03:00 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared its forecast for this confrontation for you.
New Jersey Devils
New Jersey continues to believe in the progress of its youth, which is noticeably gaining momentum and is already bringing the team a good result. After a good start, the Devils gave away a disastrous series of defeats, and recently they began to show a crazy attacking game again, but completely forgetting about the defense, which cost many points in recent meetings. So in the last match, the Devils lost to Nashville with a score of 4:2.
Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers' defense in the offseason was strengthened by Ellis and Ristolainen, which significantly raised the level of the team, and Jones was signed, but so far there is not much sense from this. The team got off to a pretty good start in the new season, jumping to the top of the table, but now the Flyers do not have stability in defense and give out a series of defeats, and the last offender of the team was Carolina, winning 3-6.

- Injuries:
-
New Jersey - Wood (upper body injury), Hughes (shoulder injury), Yarosh (arm injury), Thompson (arm injury).

Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended with a 4:2 victory for Philadelphia.
- Philadelphia has a bad streak of five consecutive defeats.
- New Jersey has won just once in its last five matches.
Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this match, because both teams have been failing lately. The leaders of Philadelphia are not in shape right now, and the team has a lot of injuries. The Devils were able to make a high-quality start to the season, but now they often lose. I think more experienced guests will be able to win here.
