Devils at Penguins projected goalies

Jacob Markstrom (22-12-5, 2.36 GAA, .906 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Tristan Jarry (11-8-4, 3.14 GAA, .894 SV%)

Markstrom kicked aside 17 of the 20 shots he faced in a 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets last time out on Tuesday, but he is still just 1-3-0 with a 3.76 GAA and .850 SV% in 4 starts in March.

Jarry has risen like a phoenix, making his way back from waivers and a banishment to the AHL. He is 3-0-0 with a 1.99 GAA and .942 SV% in 3 starts in March.

Devils at Penguins picks and predictions

Prediction

Penguins 3, Devils 2

Moneyline

The PENGUINS (+120) are worth a look as short ‘dogs at home, as Jarry has been red hot since his return from the minors. He has rattled off victories against playoff contenders Minnesota, St. Louis and Vegas, so it isn’t like he has picked on tomato cans.

On the flip side, while Markstrom won last time out for the Devils (-145), it’s a tough game on the road against a team suddenly playing with confidence.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Penguins +1.5 (-210) will cost you more than twice your potential return if you need some insurance and cannot back Pittsburgh straight up. It makes sense, as Pittsburgh does have a losing record.

AVOID, though, and play Pittsburgh straight up if you like it.

Over/Under

UNDER 5.5 (+100) is the lean and offers good value at even-money.

The concern earlier in the season would have been Jarry, but he has played with tremendous confidence and poise since returning from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

However, the worry is the play of Markstrom lately, as he has been very giving. Go lightly here.

New Jersey Devils at Philadelphia Flyers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New Jersey Devils at Philadelphia Flyers odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New Jersey Devils (33-25-6) meet the Philadelphia Flyers (27-29-8) Sunday at Wells Fargo Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (TNT / truTV / Max). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Maple Leafs vs. Golden Knights odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: Flyers lead 2-1

The Devils won 5-0 in the most recent meeting at home on Jan. 29, cashing as moderate favorites (-180) as the Under (5.5) hung on. G Jake Allen made 24 saves for the shutout, while Flyers G Samuel Ersson was pulled after allowing 4 goals on just 16 shots midway through the second period.

Philadelphia won the first 2 meetings by a combined 7-3 score, including a 3-1 victory in Newark as moderate ‘dogs (+160) on Jan. 18 as the Under (6) came through.

The Devils were blasted 6-1 last time out by the visiting Winnipeg Jets on Friday, and New Jersey has dropped 3 in a row by a combined score of 12-4. However, it is 3-1-0 in the past 4 tries against Eastern Conference opponents.

The Flyers have also had an offensive power outage lately, going for just 2 goals in the past 2 games, while getting outscored 14-5 in the current 3-game losing skid. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 outings.

Devils at Flyers projected goalies

Jacob Markstrom (21-12-5, 2.34 GAA, .907 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Ivan Fedotov (5-9-3, 3.08 GAA, .885 SV%)

Markstrom has 3 games under his belt since returning from a 6-week injury. He has lost all 3 starts, going 0-3-0 with a 4.01 GAA and .850 SV%, including 6 goals allowed on 35 shots last time out against the Jets in a 6-1 loss

Fedotov has been superb in 2 March appearances, including 1 start. He allowed a single goal on 30 shots in a 2-1 SOW at Winnipeg March 1, and he allowed 2 goals on 28 shots in a relief appearance Tuesday against Calgary.

Devils at Flyers picks and predictions

Prediction

Flyers 4, Devils 3

Moneyline

The FLYERS (+120) are a solid play on home ice behind the resurgent Fedotov. He has played well in his limited action in March.

The Devils (-145) have struggled since Markstrom returned from injury. The veteran should round back into form soon, but the money is on the home team behind a much hotter goaltender.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Flyers +1.5 (-200) will set you back 2 times your potential return, which is way too much risk for not nearly enough reward.

Even if you were to toss Philadelphia into a multi-leg parlay, including it sucks all of the value out of your ticket.

PASS.

Over/Under

OVER 6 (+100) is a nice value at even-money.

Markstrom hasn’t been sharp since returning to the crease for New Jersey, and while Fedotov has been sharp in a start and relief appearance in March, his overall body of work leaves something to be desired. He enters 4 games under .500 with a 3.08 GAA and .885 SV%, so definitely lean Over when Fedotov is patrolling the crease.

Vegas Golden Knights at New Jersey Devils odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Vegas Golden Knights at New Jersey Devils odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Vegas Golden Knights (31-17-6) take on the New Jersey Devils (30-19-6) Thursday. Puck drop from Prudential Center is set for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Golden Knights vs. Devils odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; tied 1-1 last season

The Knights have lost 4 straight after a 2-1 loss at the New York Islanders Tuesday. Newly acquired LW Brandon Saad scored his 8th goal. C Jack Eichel was kept off the scoreboard, but he has points in 8 of his last 10 games. The Knights, while they have lost 4 straight, they have only been outscored 12-7.

The Devils have traded wins and losses the last 5 games with the latest being a 3-2 shootout win over the Pittsburgh Penguins Tuesday. C Jack Hughes scored 2 goals to give him 23 on the season. Hughes has scored in 3 straight games and in 4 of 5 contests. The Devils are 3-2-0 since losing starting G Jacob Markstrom to a knee injury.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Golden Knights at Devils projected goalies

Adin Hill (19-10-4, 2.69 GAA, .900 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Nico Daws (1-0-0, 1.44 GAA, .941 SV%)

Hill is coming off a 4-2 loss to the New York Rangers Sunday in which he stopped 24 of 28 shots. He has allowed 4 goals in 4 of 5 starts now. He hasn’t faced New Jersey since a 4-3 shootout win March 3, 2023, in which he stopped 47 of 50 shots.

Daws was great in his first start of the season, which was a 3-2 shootout win over Pittsburgh Tuesday. He stopped 25 of 27 and has stopped 32 of 34 overall this year. Daws made 20 starts last year and went 9-11-0 with a 3.15 GAA and .894 SV%. He has not faced VGK.

Golden Knights at Devils picks and predictions

Prediction

Devils 4, Golden Knights 3

Moneyline

Hill’s struggles between the pipes are a little worrisome, and he’s a much different goalie at home than on the road. At home, he’s 13-3-2 with a 2.41 GAA and .910 SV%, but on the road, he’s 6-7-2 with a 3.02 GAA and .888 SV%.

It’s a close matchup, but in this pick ’em, I’ll take the DEVILS -110 at home.

Puck line/Against the spread

There’s no play on the puck line here.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Devils are 5-5 O/U in their last 10, and the Knights are 4-4-2. The goaltending matchup leads me to the Over, though, as Hill has allowed 4 goals in 4 of 5 starts, and Daws is making just his second start of the year.

Take the OVER 5.5 (-110).

Philadelphia Flyers at New Jersey Devils odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Philadelphia Flyers at New Jersey Devils odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Philadelphia Flyers (23-22-6) and New Jersey Devils (28-18-6) meet  Wednesday in Newark. The opening face-off at the Prudential Center will be at 7 p.m. (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Flyers vs. Devils odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: Flyers lead 2-0

Philadelphia and New Jersey are meeting for the second straight game and a third time in the last 2 weeks. On Monday in Philadelphia, the Flyers doubled up the Devils 4-2. On Jan. 18 in Newark, Philly beat the Devils 3-1, and overall the Flyers have won 3 in a row against their neighbors to the northeast.

With Monday’s setback, New Jersey is just 2-3-2 over its last 8 games. Since Dec. 28, the Devils have played 14 games. An otherwise dangerous power play (28.1% for the season, second in the NHL) failed to score in 10 of those 14 games, and 8 of those 10 were filed as losses.

Ersson started Monday’s game against the Devils and yielded just 2 goals on 33 shots. He owns an improved .918 SV% since Jan. 11.

Allen allowed 3 goals on 25 shots in Monday’s contest. The 34-year-old has had some home-ice struggles of late and for the season owns an .886 SV% in the Prudential Center. Allen owns a career .888 SV% against Philadelphia.

Flyers at Devils picks and predictions

Prediction

Flyers 4, Devils 3

Moneyline

The Flyers have won 3 straight series meetings and are 2-1 over their last 3 games in Newark.

The first meeting between Philly and New Jersey, a 3-1 Flyers win Jan. 18 in Newark, was part of a 5-game stretch from Jan. 11-18 that saw Philadelphia average a robust 4.00 goals per game. That type of performance is not that far back in the rearview mirror. Of late, the Flyers have developed a slew of high-danger opportunities in 5-on-5 play; they just have not been cashing those at a league-average rate.

Consider a partial-unit play on the FLYERS (+155).

Puck line/Against the spread

No interest: PASS.

Over/Under

Recent-game 5-on-5 numbers peg both sides as flying too low on the goals-vs. expected radar. More offense is in the tank on both sides. Look for it to come out in this back half of the 3-day home-and-home.

New Jersey has much the better power play, but Philadelphia owns a 25% success rate with the extra skater since Jan. 11.

The last 4 periods between these teams have seen multiple goals. TAKE THE OVER 5.5 (-115).

New Jersey Devils at Montreal Canadiens odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s New Jersey Devils at Montreal Canadiens odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New Jersey Devils (27-17-6) take on the Montreal Canadiens (24-20-4) Saturday. Puck drop from Bell Centre is set for 9 p.m. ET (NHL Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Devils vs. Canadiens odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: Devils lead 1-0; Jersey won 5-3 at home Nov. 7

The Devils snapped a 4-game losing streak with a 5-1 win over the Boston Bruins Wednesday. However, they received a kick below the belt when G Jacob Markstrom (knee) left the game with a sprained MCL. He’ll miss 4 to 6 weeks. C Dawson Mercer had 2 goals in that one to give him 12 on the year.

The Canadiens fell 4-2 at the Detroit Red Wings Thursday. The setback snapped a modest 2-game winning streak, and they are 7-2-1 over the last 10. C Kirby Dach netted his 10th goal of the season and added an assist in that one.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Devils at Canadiens projected goalies

Jake Allen (6-8-1, 2.66 GAA, .901 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Jakub Dobes (5-0-0, 1.55 GAA, .941 SV%, 1 SO)

Allen came on in relief of Markstrom in the last game and stopped all 16 shots fired his way. The 34-year-old has made 3 appearances this month and has allowed just 4 goals on 56 shots for a .929 SV%. He spent the first half of last season with Montreal and hasn’t faced it in a few years.

The 23-year-old Czech rookie was great in his first 4 starts but allowed 4 goals on 28 shots in a 5-4 OT winner against the New York Rangers last time out. He has given his team a spark as they have scored 17 goals in his 5 starts.

Devils at Canadiens picks and predictions

Prediction

Canadiens 4, Devils 3

Moneyline

I like the Habs here. If they can get out to an early lead, the Devs, who just lost their franchise goalie, will start to press and chase the game. Montreal is an up-and-coming bunch with a lot of speed and skill.

Take the CANADIENS +140.

Puck line/Against the spread

There’s no value on either side of the moneyline here. Stick with the value on the Habs ML.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Devils are 2-8 O/U in their last 10, and the Canadiens are 4-5-1. The difference for me is that we essentially have 2 backup goalies here. The last 2 meetings saw 8 and 7 goals, and I think we’re going OVER 6 (-120).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New Jersey Devils (26-15-5) and the Toronto Maple Leafs (27-16-2) meet Thursday at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Devils vs. Maple Leafs odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: Maple Leafs lead 2-0; Toronto won 4-2 and 2-1 in New Jersey, cashing as an underdog in each game as the Under also cashed in each outing

The Devils lost 2-1 in a shootout against the Florida Panthers Tuesday, slipping to 2-4-2 in the past 8 outings. The Under has cashed in 7 in a row, averaging just 1.8 goals per game (GPG) in the past 8 games, while allowing 2.6 GPG in the previous 7 outings.

The Maple Leafs lost 4-1 at home against the Dallas Stars Tuesday, dropping their third consecutive game. Toronto has scored just 4 goals in the skid, while allowing 13 goals. The Under is on a 4-1 run in the past 5 games, and 6-2 in the previous 8 contests.

Devils at Maple Leafs projected goalies

Jacob Markstrom (21-8-4, 2.15 GAA, .913 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Joseph Woll (14-8-0, 2.65 GAA, .908 SV%, 1 SO)

Markstrom has allowed 3 or fewer goals in 15 straight starts since Nov. 29 in Detroit. He posted an 8-1-1 mark with a 1.30 GAA and .937 SV% with 2 SO in 10 starts in December, while going 2-1-2 with a 2.13 GAA and .917 SV% in 5 January outings.

Markstrom faced the Maple Leafs just once this season, allowing 4 goals on 22 shots in a 4-2 loss Oct. 10 in Newark.

Woll has been very ordinary in January, despite winning 3 of 5 starts. He has a 3.22 GAA and .895 SV%, allowing 4 or more goals in 3 of his past 4 outings. He has yet to face the Devils so far this season.

Devils at Maple Leafs picks and predictions

Prediction

Devils 4, Maple Leafs 2

Moneyline

The DEVILS (-120) have lost the first 2 meetings with the Maple Leafs (+100) this season, but a lot has changed since October.

New Jersey is playing very good hockey over the past 2 months, and we highlighted the success of Markstrom in that span.

Toronto has had a lot of trouble lighting the lamp lately, going for 2.0 GPG in the past 5 games, including just a single goal in the past 2 outings.

Puck line/Against the spread

The DEVILS -1.5 (+200) are worth a roll of dice for the chance to double up.

The Maple Leafs +1.5 (-250) have lost by 3 goals in each of their last 3 outings. So, if you like New Jersey to win, you should like it to cover the puck line, too.

Over/Under

OVER 5.5 (-115) is a risky play given the problems Toronto has had on offense lately, but it has been very giving, too. The Maple Leafs have allowed 13 goals in the 3-game losing streak, or 4.3 GPG.

New Jersey hasn’t scored 4 or more goals since Dec. 27 against the Carolina Hurricanes. It’s tough to bet against a 7-game Under streak, which the Devils have, but they’re certainly due for an Over.

Spencer Knight (7-6-1, 2.80 GAA, .891 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Jacob Markstrom (21-8-3, 2.60 GAA, .911 SV%, 3 SO)

Knight hasn’t started since Jan. 3, when he earned a win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, allowing just 2 goals on 31 shots. Knight faced the Devils earlier this season, but struggled, giving up 3 goals on 23 shots in a Nov. 12 loss.

Markstrom earned a win in his last start Saturday, holding the Tampa Bay Lightning to 2 goals on 25 shots. He also shined against the Panthers earlier this season, stopping 34 of 35 shots in a dominant performance in the 4-1 win on Nov. 12.

Panthers at Devils picks and predictions

Prediction

Devils 3, Panthers 2

Moneyline

BET DEVILS (-140).

The Devils had a rough road trip, losing 5 of 6 games, but they bounced back at home with a big win over the Lightning. C Jack Hughes, LW Jesper Bratt and their linemates should create plenty of scoring chances.

On defense, the Devils have tightened up, allowing just 7 goals in their last 3 games. They’ve been strong at home this season, sitting at 13-6-3, and have dominated Florida, outscoring them 10-3 in 2 matchups.

With the rest advantage—staying home since Saturday while the Panthers are on a back-to-back—the Devils are in a great spot to pick up another win Tuesday night.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

This will be a tight game between 2 good teams, I’m not going to play around with the puck line.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 6 (-105).

The Under has hit in 6 of the last 10 meetings between the Panthers and Devils. Florida is 6-3-1 to the Under in their last 10 games, while New Jersey is an impressive 8-2 in that span. Devils’ starter Markstrom, with a 2.19 GAA this season, shut down the Panthers in their last matchup, adding even more confidence for another low-scoring game.

Devils 3, Rangers 2

PASS.

There is better value on the New Jersey moneyline.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 6.5 (-120).

Devils at Kraken picks and predictions

Prediction

Devils 5, Kraken 2

Moneyline

No interest: PASS.

Puck line/Against the spread

New Jersey has won 4 in a row against Seattle. When playing on one-day rest, the Devils are 15-6-2.

The Devils’ 5-on-5 analytics during their slide have not been impressive. But overall this season, New Jersey has deserved a better fate offensively.

Seattle is just 1-3-1 over its last 5 home games. Six of the club’s last 7 losses have been by multi-goal margins. Peg DEVILS -1.5 (+105) as being the value side of this contest.

Over/Under

The Over is 5-1 across the Kraken’s last 6 contests. Two of the last 3 series games in Seattle have cashed on the Over (2-1).

Seattle is not an overly penalized club, but it is one trending toward more short-handed minutes of late. That’s a marginal tilt toward the Over as well: New Jersey’s 28.9% power-play ranks second in the league.

TAKE THE OVER 6 (-105).

Prediction

Kings 4, Devils 3

Moneyline

BET KINGS (-110).

Los Angeles has won back-to-back games and faces a New Jersey squad that has lost 2 straight games and is playing on the back half of a back-to-back. The Kings have been hot offensively, scoring 4 or more goals in 4 of their last 7 while the Devils have scored 2 goals in 2 straight games, both on the road.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

The money has better value on the Kings.

Over/Under

BET OVER 6 (+100).

With a line at 6 combined with a Kings team that has scored 9 goals combined in its previous 2 games, the Over is a no-brainer in this matchup. The Kings have allowed at least 3 goals in each of their last 6 games while the Devils have scored 3 goals in 3 of their last 5 games.
