[swole]

They say revenge is best served cold. The Devils can put payback on the menu Tuesday, recalling their 5-2 loss back on January 29, 2004, when they face the Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena.

New Jersey brings a 13-10-2 overall mark (3-5-2 in the division) into this game versus a Detroit team carrying a 18-8-2 record.

The Red Wings are favored, opening as 195 chalk, with an opening total of 6. They are 18-8-2 this season and 12-15-1 OU. The Devils are 13-10-2 and are 11-10-4 OU.

Last time out, the Devils defeated the Wild 3-2 as 160 favorites. That contest went under the closing total.

Mike Babcock's team was busy last game losing to N.Y. Islanders 2-1 as 240 favorites. The 3 goals sent that game under the total of 6.5.

Some trends to consider:
