NHL Odds: New Jersey at Atlanta

When you think of the New Jersey Devils you think of tight defense and Martin Brodeur. (AP Images)"]

Well, that stingy defense that has allowed five goals in three games could use some offensive help since they have only scored five goals total.

New Jersey will try to snap out of an early offensive funk tonight when it continues its road trip against the Atlanta Thrashers, who were among the NHL's worst defensive teams last season. The Thrashers allowed 266 goals, tied with Tampa Bay for the most in the league, and the Devils took advantage, going 3-0-1 against Atlanta and scoring 14 goals in those games.

Kari Lehtonen has a 3.71 GAA through three games for the Thrashers after allowing three third-period goals on five shots in a 4-2 home loss to Minnesota on Tuesday. Get your NHL betting in the Bodog Sportsbook today.
