When it comes to covering the spread, both teams have split the honors evenly, with each team beating the spread twice. The home team has had the upper hand, winning three out of the four games, while the visiting team has only managed to secure a single victory. The Devils have shown a strong offensive presence, particularly in the most recent game where they scored five goals, and have consistently been the favorites in terms of moneyline odds, except for one game where the Canucks were slightly favored.

New Jersey Devils vs. Vancouver Canucks Predictions
The Devils, currently on a one-game losing streak, are aiming to bounce back and climb up the Metropolitan Division standings. With star center Jack Hughes leading the team with 30 points, including 21 assists, New Jersey’s offense has the potential to be explosive. However, their inconsistent defense, which has been a concern this season, will need to tighten up against a high-scoring Canucks team.
Vancouver, on the other hand, is enjoying a strong position in the Pacific Division, sitting second with a solid 16-8-1 record. The Canucks’ offense has been firing on all cylinders, with J.T. Miller at the helm with 36 points. Quinn Hughes, with 25 assists, has been a key playmaker, and their collective offensive prowess will test the Devils’ defensive resolve. Vancouver’s recent performance has been a mix of wins and losses, but they’ll look to capitalize on their home-ice advantage and extend their one-game winning streak.
This game also features an intriguing matchup between the Hughes brothers, with Jack and Luke representing the Devils and Quinn suiting up for the Canucks. Their individual performances could very well tip the scales in this closely contested game. With both teams nearly even in moneyline odds and an over/under set at 6.5, this matchup is expected to be tightly contested and could go either way, depending on which team capitalizes on their opportunities and manages to outperform the other defensively.
New Jersey Devils vs. Vancouver Canucks Pick
Given the recent trends and the historic head-to-head matchups between the New Jersey Devils and the Vancouver Canucks, the ‘Over’ seems to be the most compelling pick for this game. Both teams have demonstrated a propensity for high-scoring games, with the Over hitting in all four of their last encounters. The Devils have been particularly strong offensively, with Jack Hughes leading the charge, and the Canucks have not been shy in lighting the lamp either, with J.T. Miller and Quinn Hughes racking up points. The set total line of 6.5 is a testament to the offensive capabilities of both teams, and with the Devils’ defense showing inconsistency, there’s a strong chance that the Canucks will exploit any weaknesses to keep the scoreboard ticking.
Moreover, the current season trends support the Over pick, with the Devils hitting 17 overs and the Canucks hitting 17 overs as well. The Devils’ road games have seen 7 overs, indicating their ability to score away from home. The Canucks’ home games have resulted in 6 overs, showing they are comfortable scoring at the Rogers Arena. While the historic head-to-head data suggests a tight contest, the offensive firepower on both sides, coupled with the Devils’ defensive concerns, points towards a game where the total goals are likely to exceed the 6.5 line, making the Over the right pick for this matchup.
The Pick: Over 6.5 -140 (Bet365)
