Devils vs Wild

Ryan Hartman has been a key spark for the Wild, who bring a modest two-game win streak into this contest against a Devils squad that has dropped their last two. Minnesota remains without a key defensive piece due to injury, but New Jersey’s defense has also been tested by Dougie Hamilton’s lingering issues. Historically, the Wild hold a solid home edge against most Eastern Conference foes, and that pattern could tilt this matchup in Minnesota’s favor once again. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Jack Hughes and the Devils are eager to break their current two-game slide against a Wild squad enjoying three straight wins, making this clash particularly intriguing. Despite both teams confirming most of their key offensive weapons are active, the Devils continue to navigate recent injury concerns on their blue line, while Minnesota’s defense remains mostly healthy. Historically, these matchups have often exceeded the projected goals threshold, especially when Minnesota hosts Eastern Conference foes. Graded a B+ for strong payout potential and a decent likelihood of success, the Over looks enticing if each side keeps its impressive scoring rhythm flowing. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Jack Hughes and the 38-28-7 Devils continue a two-game winning streak, buoyed by an offense clicking at the right time, while the 41-27-5 Wild look to rebound after dropping their last contest. After confirming active rosters on ESPN, Minnesota’s defense could be shorthanded without Jonas Brodin, who remains sidelined, potentially weakening their usually sturdy blue line. Historically, New Jersey has capitalized on matchups against Central Division foes when they establish a quick tempo early on, giving them an extra edge in this cross-conference challenge. Backing the Devils on the -1.5 spread at -250 odds earns an A rating here, reflecting both its high likelihood and respectable potential return. Odds and availability are subject to change.
