Winnipeg Jets at New Jersey Devils Preview & Picks

Winnipeg are tipped to follow up last night's victory in Philadelphia.

The Jets halted their losing skid with that win, and they now get the benefit of facing an out-of-form New Jersey team that has lost Jack Hughes for the rest of the season.

  • Winnipeg Jets are 12-3 in their previous 15 games
  • New Jersey Devils are 5-7 in their last 12 games
  • Winnipeg Jets are 7-3 in the previous 10 meetings with New Jersey
  • The Under has cashed in each of Winnipeg's last 6 games

Head To Head

  • New Jersey Devils lead the all-time series 35-25-11
  • New Jersey Devils won 4-1 when the two teams last met in March 2024

Winnipeg Jets Form

Winnipeg enter this matchup having finally snapped their three-game losing skid with a victory in Philadelphia last night.

The Jets lost back-to-back games in the middle of January, but came roaring back as a 3-2 overtime win in Colorado sparked a season-best run of 11 straight win.

They then beat Utah and Calgary 5-2 at home, before heading out on the road to down Montreal 4-1, Boston 6-2 and Washington 5-4 in overtime.

Winnipeg followed that up with home wins over Carolina, 3-0, and the New York Islanders, 4-3, and then sandwiched a 2-1 overtime win over San Jose at home with road wins at St Louis, 4-3, and Ottawa, 4-1.

The Jets were unable to extend that tear beyond 11 games as they lost 2-1 in Nashville, 2-1 to Philadelphia and 3-2 to the New York Islanders, but they did rally last night to beat Philadelphia 4-1.

New Jersey Devils Form

New Jersey enter this matchup looking to kick-start a good run of form, having now lost seven of their last 12 games.

The Devils’ underwhelming form saw them go 5-5 during a 10-game spell that saw them fail to string together wins.

The last of those five wins came on the opening day of March as they went out on the road to beat Utah 3-1.

New Jersey failed to back that up though, as they moved on to Vegas for a 2-0 shutout defeat at the hands of the Golden Knights.

The Devils then moved on to Dallas for a showdown with the Stars on Tuesday night, which they lost 4-3.
