New Jersey Devils vs. Detroit Red Wings Predictions
The Devils, coming off a loss, are looking to regain their early-season form that saw them as one of the more dynamic teams in the league. With star center Jack Hughes (16 assists) and winger Jesper Bratt (23 points) leading the charge, New Jersey’s offense has the potential to be explosive. However, consistency has been an issue, and they’ll need to tighten up defensively, as they currently sit at 11th in the conference.
Detroit, on the other hand, is looking to snap a two-game losing streak. The Red Wings have seen a resurgence in offense with Alex DeBrincat (11 goals) finding his scoring touch and captain Dylan Larkin (12 assists) setting up plays. The Red Wings’ performance at home has been a mixed bag, and they’ll be looking to improve their record at the Little Caesars Arena. Goaltending could play a key role, with Detroit’s netminders facing a Devils team that has been potent on the power play.
This game could come down to key player matchups and special teams. The Devils’ power play, led by Hughes and Bratt, will test the Red Wings’ penalty kill, which has been average this season. On the flip side, Detroit’s top line will need to outmaneuver a New Jersey defense that has shown vulnerability. With both teams eager to establish a winning streak, expect a tightly contested game with playoff implications already on the line.
New Jersey Devils vs. Detroit Red Wings Pick
The New Jersey Devils have demonstrated a strong track record against the Detroit Red Wings in recent matchups, winning three out of the last four encounters. Despite their recent loss, the Devils have the offensive firepower with players like Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt, who have been key contributors to the team’s success. The Devils’ power play has been particularly effective, which could be a deciding factor against the Red Wings’ average penalty kill. Additionally, the Devils’ win rate in the 2023-2024 season against the Red Wings stands at 100%, indicating a psychological edge that could play into their performance in the upcoming game.
While the Red Wings have the home-ice advantage and have seen a resurgence in their offense, the Devils’ ability to perform on the road, as evidenced by their higher win rate in away games, suggests they can handle the pressure of an away game at the Little Caesars Arena. Considering the Devils’ need to bounce back and regain their early-season form, coupled with the favorable odds and the historical head-to-head statistics, a moneyline bet on the New Jersey Devils is a compelling choice for this matchup.
