Thu Mar 20 23:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Flames and Devils Expected Low-Scoring Affair in Rematch

**Calgary, AB** – The Calgary Flames and New Jersey Devils are set to clash in a rematch of their low-scoring November encounter, with predictions pointing towards another tight defensive battle. The game, scheduled for Thursday, March 20th at Prudential Center, is anticipated to feature limited offensive opportunities.

Both teams are known for their defensive prowess and low-scoring games. The Flames, sporting a 25-41-1 over/under record, rely on strong goaltending and a conservative approach to win games. The Devils, with a similar 25-42-2 record, have struggled offensively since the calendar turned, ranking 26th in scoring efficiency at 5-on-5. The absence of Devils’ star Jack Hughes due to injury further dampens their offensive potential.

The previous matchup saw only three goals scored in the final ten minutes of regulation. Given the Devils’ recent struggles to generate shots (under 30 in their last ten games) and the Flames’ defensive strength, analysts predict a similar low-scoring affair. The under 5.5 total goals is favored.

Despite the low-scoring expectation, some individual player prop bets are highlighted: MacKenzie Weegar (Flames defenseman) is predicted to exceed 2.5 shots, capitalizing on the Devils’ vulnerability to opposing defensemen. Nico Hischier (Devils center) is also predicted to surpass 2.5 shots, based on his recent performance in Hughes’ absence.
