Prediction

Sabres 4, Devils 3

Moneyline (ML)

The SABRES (-143) are home favorites. Both teams last played Saturday but the Devils are playing the first half of a back-to-back. New Jersey has been up-and-down of late and with Taylor Hall being shifted to the third line, the Devils are trying to find balance in any way possible which only makes it easier for Buffalo to win outright.

A $10 bet with Buffalo results in a $6.99 profit with an outright win for the Sabres.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Devils are 9-16 against the spread which is second-to-last in the NHL. The Sabres are 16-11 ATS. AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-143) is worth a small play. The first clash between the two teams this year hit the Over with Buffalo scoring seven times. Both teams will give up shots in this one as New Jersey allowed 48 shots in Montreal Thursday and Buffalo gives up 32.3 shots on goal per game.

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a $6.99 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.

New York Rangers at New Jersey Devils odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s New York Rangers at New Jersey Devils sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The New York Rangers (12-9-3) travel to Newark to face the New Jersey Devils (9-11-4) at Prudential Center Saturday at 1 p.m. ET. We analyze the Rangers-Devils odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Rangers at Devils: Projected starting goalies

Alexandar Georgiev vs. MacKenzie Blackwood

Georgiev has a 5-4-1 record for New York with a 3.42 goals against average and .903 save percentage. New York’s goaltending sees the third-most shots per 60 minutes in the entire league. Georgiev won his last start in Montreal but allowed five goals on 43 shots.

Blackwood has an 8-6-3 record. He has a 3.13 goals against average and .900 save percentage on the season. The New Jersey starter stopped 44 of 48 shots in a wild 6-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens Thursday.

Rangers at Devils: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 6:00 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Devils 4, Rangers 3

Moneyline (ML)

The DEVILS (-134) are the rested team going up against a Rangers team on the second half of a back-to-back. New York lost 3-2 to the Boston Bruins in overtime while New Jersey scored a 6-4 road win in Montreal Thanksgiving night. New Jersey will be able to generate enough offense to hold off the Rangers.

A $10 bet with New Jersey results in a $7.46 profit with an outright win for the Devils.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Devils are 9-15 against the spread which is second to last in the NHL. The Rangers have more than enough offense to keep New Jersey from connecting on the spread (-1.5, +195). AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (+125) is worth a small play. The first clash between the two teams this year hit the Over. New York has seen the Over connect in its last six road games after a loss. New Jersey and New York both allow around 35 shots per 60 minutes and usually, that results in quality chances and eventually goals. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a $12.50 profit with a total of seven or more goals scored.

Toronto Maple Leafs at Buffalo Sabres odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Friday’s Toronto Maple Leafs at Buffalo Sabres sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Toronto Maple Leafs (9-11-4) take a 90-minute drive into the USA to face the Buffalo Sabres (8-10-4) at KeyBank Center Friday at 4 p.m. ET. We analyze the Maple Leafs-Sabres odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Maple Leafs at Sabres: Projected starting goalies

Michael Hutchinson vs. Carter Hutton

Hutchinson is confirmed to start for the Maple Leafs. He has an 0-4-1 record with a 4.44 goals against average and .879 save percentage. His previous four starts have seen him give up four or more goals while facing 30-plus shots each outing.

Hutton has a .903 SV% and 2.91 GAA. He has also given up four or more goals in each of his last four starts (0-3-1 in that span).

Maple Leafs at Sabres: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Maple Leafs 5, Sabres 4

Moneyline (ML)

The MAPLE LEAFS (-167) are a different team with Sheldon Keefe as head coach. Now, they will be tested in this rare matinee tilt with Hutchinson back between the pipes. Buffalo is in a bit of freefall and Hutton is also struggling of late. Toronto has a little more offense with a rejuvenated Tyson Barrie helping from the blueline. Take the Maple Leafs.

A $10 bet with Toronto results in a $5.99 profit with an outright win.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Risking a tiny wager on the Maple Leafs (-1.5, +180) would seem to be a good play. It is a big profit in the making but Buffalo could score enough to force this game into overtime. PASS.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (+115) is a good play. Three of the last four head-to-head meetings have connected on the Over with one push.

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor an $11.50 profit with a total of seven or more goals scored.

Minnesota Wild at New Jersey Devils odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Tuesday’s Minnesota Wild at New Jersey Devils sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Minnesota Wild (9-11-4) drive through the Lincoln Tunnel from Manhattan to face the New Jersey Devils (8-10-4) at Prudential Center Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Wild-Devils odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Wild at Devils: Projected starting goalies

Kaapo Kahkonen vs. MacKenzie Blackwood

Kahkonen is making his NHL debut against the Devils. The 23-year old goaltender played 10 games for the AHL’s Iowa Wild and compiled a 2.47 goals against average and .908 save percentage.

Blackwood is looking to rebound from a bad home outing against the Boston Bruins and getting pulled against the Pittsburgh Penguins (four goals allowed in 42-plus minutes) Friday. The New Jersey starter is now 7-6-3 on the season with a 3.07 goals against average and .898 save percentage.

Wild at Devils: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 9:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Devils 4, Wild 2

Moneyline (ML)

The DEVILS (-154) got a couple much needed nights of rest and host a Minnesota team having lost 3-2 against the New York Rangers Monday. The Wild blew a one-goal lead late in the third period then lost quickly in overtime. New Jersey facing a goalie making his NHL debut has driven the line more in the Devils’ favor.

A $10 bet with New Jersey results in a $6.49 profit with an outright win for the Devils.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Risking a tiny wager on the DEVILS (-1.5, +180) is the play. Minnesota is just 3-9-2 as an underdog. There is danger here but New Jersey has a rare opportunity against a vulnerable opponent.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-139) is a reasonable play Tuesday. The last three meetings in this series have all connected on the Over.

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a $7.19 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.

Detroit Red Wings at New Jersey Devils odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Detroit Red Wings at New Jersey Devils sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Detroit Red Wings (7-14-3) travel to Newark to face the New Jersey Devils (7-10-4) at Prudential Center Saturday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Red Wings-Devils odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Red Wings at Devils: Projected starting goalies

Jimmy Howard vs. Louis Domingue

Howard has a 2-9-1 record for Detroit with a 3.98 goals against average and .883 save percentage. Detroit’s goaltending has the worst goals saved above average in the league.

Domingue made five saves in the final 18 minutes of Friday’s night 4-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins in his debut for the Devils.

Red Wings at Devils: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 9:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Devils 4, Red Wings 3

Moneyline (ML)

The DEVILS (-154) played Friday night and more goals should be expected in this game as a result. Detroit’s 71% success rate on the penalty kill helps New Jersey immensely.

A $10 bet with New Jersey results in a $6.49 profit with an outright win for the Devils.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Devils are 7-14 against the spread which is dead last in the entire NHL. The Red Wings have just enough offense to keep New Jersey from connecting on the spread (-1.5, +170). AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-154) is a good play given the fact these are two of the worst teams in the league when it comes to goals allowed. Detroit is dead last with 3.75 and New Jersey is next to last at 3.57 goals yielded per contest. New Jersey’s penalty kill is 27th at home so Detroit may have added chances to pad the goal total. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a $6.49 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.

New Jersey Devils at Pittsburgh Penguins odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Friday’s New Jersey Devils at Pittsburgh Penguins sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (11-7-4) entertain the division rival New Jersey Devils (7-9-4) at PPG Paints Arena Friday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Devils-Penguins odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Devils at Penguins: Projected starting goalies

MacKenzie Blackwood vs. Tristan Jarry

Blackwood is expected to start again for the Devils. He is 7-5-3 with a 2.95 goals against average and .899 save percentage. Blackwood took the home loss Tuesday against Boston after allowing five goals on just 28 shots.

Jarry is projected to get the start Friday in New Jersey. He has a 2-3 record for Pittsburgh with a 1.98 GAA and .938 SV%. Jarry has looked great in his backup role and came up clutch against Toronto last week while turning away 32 of 33 shots in a win.

Devils at Penguins: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 7:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Penguins 3, Devils 2

Moneyline (ML)

The PENGUINS (-189) are dealing with far more injuries than the Devils. They are without C Sidney Crosby, D Kris Letang, plus F Nick Bjugstad — just to name a few of the injured. Despite this, they nearly beat the New York Islanders Thursday night. It is anyone’s guess as to how New Jersey comes out after their poor performance at home against the Boston Bruins.

It will be a back and forth contest but Pittsburgh ultimately wins this one late.

A $10 bet with Pittsburgh results in a $5.29 profit with an outright win for the Penguins.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Devils are 7-13 against the spread which is dead last in the entire NHL. Their style of play typically is the culprit. Also, the Penguins are so banged up that expecting them to win by two or more goals is a lot to ask for. AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 5.5 (+125) is a bit of a risky play but considering the two teams combined for just three goals last week in their first meeting, it’s the right move. Usually, New Jersey hits the Over in Pittsburgh but with both sides a bit down offensively, it is worth a shot. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a decent $12.50 profit with a total of five or fewer goals scored.

Bruins-Devils odds: Wounded Boston still a road favorite

Previewing Tuesday’s Boston Bruins at New Jersey Devils sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

The Boston Bruins (12-3-5) travel to Newark to face the New Jersey Devils (7-8-4) at Prudential Center Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Bruins-Devils odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Bruins at Devils: Projected starting goalies

Tuukka Rask vs. MacKenzie Blackwood

Rask is confirmed to get the start Tuesday in New Jersey. He has an 8-2-2 record for Boston with a 2.14 goals against average and .927 save percentage. Rask looked excellent against the Toronto Maple Leafs as he stopped 29 of 31 shots during Boston’s 4-2 victory.

Blackwood is likely to start again for the Devils. He is 7-4-3 with a 2.79 GAA and .904 save percentage. Blackwood has won two straight games and has a save percentage of .922 over his last 10 outings.

Bruins at Devils: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 4:15 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Bruins 4, Devils 3

Moneyline (ML)

The BRUINS (-154) are dealing with far more injuries than the Devils. C Patrice Bergeron is not 100% and D Torey Krug is out among a slew of other injuries, and yet, they are still road favorites Tuesday night. New Jersey gives up 3.50 goals per game at home and is 27th at home on the penalty kill.

It will be a high-event and chaotic game but the Bruins are our play on the moneyline.

A $10 bet with Boston results in a $6.49 profit with a Bruins’ win.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Devils are 7-12 against the spread which is still among the worst in the entire NHL. Part of the problem is their style of play which makes it hard to see them win by more than one goal. Boston’s injuries make a win by more than a goal difficult, as well. AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-134) is a good play. Watch for the status of Bergeron. This may be a bet to avoid if he does not look 100%. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a decent $7.46 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.

Penguins at Devils: Projected starting goalies

Matt Murray vs. MacKenzie Blackwood

Murray is projected to get the start Friday in New Jersey. He has a 9-3-2 record for Pittsburgh with a 2.39 goals against average and .914 save percentage. Murray has looked decent of late, allowing eight goals on his last 81 shots faced while winning two of his previous three starts.

Blackwood is confirmed to start again for the Devils. He is 5-4-3 with a 2.94 GAA and .895 save percentage. Blackwood took the home loss Wednesday against Ottawa after yielding three goals on 24 shots.

Prediction

Penguins 4, Devils 3

Moneyline (ML)

The PENGUINS (-139) are dealing with far more injuries than the Devils. They are without C Sidney Crosby and D Kris Letang, and yet, are still road favorites Friday night. New Jersey gives up 3.78 goals per game at home and has a porous penalty kill.

It will be a high-event and chaotic game but take the Penguins on the moneyline.

A $10 bet with Pittsburgh results in a $7.19 profit with a Penguins’ win.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Devils are 5-12 against the spread which is dead last in the entire NHL. Part of the problem is their style of play which just does not lead to convincing victories. Most of their games are decided by one goal or include an empty-net tally. AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-154) is a safe play Friday night. That 5.5 number just makes for an easier bet with a little less profit. Do not overthink this one. There will be goals. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a decent $6.49 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.
