Devils vs Jets Prediction and Picks - New Jersey Rolling On

Both teams carry winning streaks into Canada Life Centre, five for the Devils and three for the Jets, and the price on the visitors makes this Devils vs Jets prediction an easy place to start, with puck drop at 7 p.m. ET.

New Jersey at -147 is the bet. They've won 13 of 18 this season and every one of their last five, and a team averaging 33.7 shots against Winnipeg's 28.6 allowed should control most of the play.

Winnipeg's recent run gives me some pause. But they've still allowed 3.50 goals a game this season, and New Jersey's attack is a big step up from Vancouver's.

Jesper Bratt has an assist in each of his last five games and in 12 of 18 overall. He has 15 assists, and his power-play time has climbed to almost four minutes a game this month.

Luke Evangelista at +140 is the shots bet. He has three or more in nine of 15 games and four of his last five, and he put five on net against the Islanders on Saturday.

Winnipeg won both meetings in 2025-26, 4-3 at Canada Life Centre in January and 4-3 at Prudential Center later that month. Tonight is the first of two meetings this season.

That last game was January 27, 2026. The Jets built a 4-1 lead through 37 minutes, with Mark Scheifele scoring 93 seconds in, and New Jersey's late push from Bratt and Nico Hischier fell one goal short.

New Jersey are 9-1 in their last 10, and the depth is driving it. Hughes has nine goals, Timo Meier scored twice on Sunday, and Connor Hellebuyck is 5-0 with a .913 save percentage.

On Saturday on Long Island, they trailed 4-2 before Evangelista and Dougie Hamilton tied it in the third and Hughes won it 1.18 into overtime. A night later in Toronto, Hellebuyck stopped all 23 shots in a 4-0 win.

Anthony Mantha is out until at least November 12 with a neck injury, according to CBS Sports, after scoring twice against St. Louis last week. Hellebuyck is expected to start after the day off, having played on Sunday.

Winnipeg are 3-6-1 in their last 10, and the goaltending was the problem through a five-game losing run. Stuart Skinner is at .883, though he's won his last three starts.

Last Thursday, they beat Vancouver 6-2 after scoring three times in the first period. On Sunday against Tampa Bay, they led 3-0 midway through the third before the Lightning tied it in 4.05, and Scheifele won it on the power play with two seconds left.

Josh Morrissey was placed on IR with a wrist injury, CBS Sports reports in its Sunday update, which thins out the Winnipeg blue line. Skinner is expected to start after his three straight wins.
