The Vancouver Canucks (20-26-3) and New Jersey Devils (32-13-4) are set to tussle in a Monday game in Newark. The opening faceoff at the Prudential Center is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Canucks vs. Devils odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
Vancouver is 2-1-0 over its last 3 games (before the All-Star break) but is just 4-11-0 since Dec. 29. Since that late-December date, the Canucks have yielded 4.63 goals per game on the road.
The Devils got off to a great start this season and then struggled through much of December. But New Jersey had appeared to have righted the ship heading into this past weekend’s All-Star break. The Devils are 8-1-1 over their last 10 games.

Canucks at Devils picks and predictions
Prediction
Devils 5, Canucks 2
Moneyline
The Devils dominated at the dot and in shots on goal (37-23) in a 5-2 win at Vancouver as -108 slight underdogs Nov. 1. With this goaltending matchup, the Devils (-250) should win, but the price is way too steep and most bankrolls will likely be more aligned with a play on the puck line. PASS.
Puck line/Against the spread
NEW JERSEY -1.5 (+105) has been involved in a slew of close games lately, but it is the superior team here, along with playing at home.
Vancouver has been reeling when short-handed. The Canucks have coughed up a 44.8% power-play figure over their last 10 games.
TAKE THE DEVILS -1.5 (+105).
Over/Under
No lean here. It’s easy to see a flat outing for the Canucks. PASS.
