New Jersey Devils @ Montreal Canadiens Preview

The New Jersey Devils (30-20-6) are looking to bounce back after a recent loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. They face the Montreal Canadiens (25-24-5), who are aiming to end a three-game home losing streak. The Devils have been solid defensively, allowing just 2.4 goals per game over their last 10 outings, while the Canadiens have struggled, giving up 3.7 goals per game in the same span. Key players to watch include Nico Hischier for the Devils, who has five goals in his last five games, and Cole Caufield for the Canadiens, who leads his team with 26 goals this season.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

In their last meeting on January 25, 2025, the Devils defeated the Canadiens 4-3 in overtime.

Pick: New Jersey Devils Moneyline (-130)

widget-odds-nhl-su-5247-NJ-MON

The Devils are the stronger team defensively and have been more consistent in recent games. With Nico Hischier in excellent form and the Canadiens struggling to find their rhythm at home, the Devils are the safer pick to win outright. Montreal's recent defensive struggles, allowing 3.7 goals per game in their last 10, further solidify this pick.

Top Player Prop Picks

Nico Hischier Over 0.5 Goals

Hischier has been in great form, scoring five goals in his last five games. With Montreal's defensive struggles, he is a strong candidate to find the back of the net.

Cole Caufield Over 2.5 Shots on Goal

Caufield leads the Canadiens in goals and is their primary offensive weapon. Expect him to be active in this game, especially as Montreal looks to end their home losing streak.

Jack Hughes Over 1.5 Points

Hughes has been a key playmaker for the Devils, with 40 assists this season. Against a struggling Canadiens defense, he has a good chance to rack up multiple points.
