New Jersey Devils vs Winnipeg Jets Picks and Prediction for Tuesday November 10 2026
New Jersey heads to Winnipeg on Tuesday for a 7 PM ET game at Canada Life Centre. The Devils just shut out Toronto 4-0, and they’ve been playing about as well as anybody in the league. Winnipeg has been going in the opposite direction. The Jets have struggled defensively, and they haven’t been scoring enough to make up for it. At the time of this writing the odds were not released. I like New Jersey here. The Devils have been too good lately for me to start looking for reasons to go against them. The NHL action is hitting the ice flying and you should make sure you find the best picks by checking our free NHL picks.
New Jersey Has Been Rolling
New Jersey is 13-5 and has won nine of its last ten games. That’s a heck of a stretch. The Devils have been scoring four goals a night during that run and allowing only 2.4. That’s the kind of hockey that wins games consistently. Their latest victory was a 4-0 shutout of Toronto, and the Devils looked comfortable controlling the pace.
For the season, New Jersey has scored 65 goals in 18 games, an average of 3.6. That’s sixth in the NHL. The Devils have also been generating plenty of shots, which is important against a Winnipeg team that’s been giving up too many chances. New Jersey isn’t relying on one lucky bounce or one big power-play night. The Devils have been creating offense in different ways, and that’s what makes them difficult to defend.
The Devils are dealing with a couple of injuries. Seamus Casey is out with a knee problem, and Anthony Mantha has been listed day to day with a neck injury. Those aren’t ideal absences, but New Jersey has been getting enough contributions throughout the lineup to keep winning. The Devils need to stay disciplined and avoid giving Winnipeg unnecessary power plays. If they play their usual game, they’ll have plenty of opportunities.
Winnipeg Needs to Get Its Defense Straightened Out
Winnipeg is 7-8-3 and has been struggling lately. The Jets have gone 3-6-1 over their last ten games, and they’re allowing 3.7 goals per game during that stretch. That’s too many. Winnipeg has also been having trouble at home, where it’s 3-4-1. The Jets need to start making Canada Life Centre a tougher place for opponents to play.
Winnipeg has been scoring only 2.6 goals per game over its last ten. That’s the bigger problem. If you’re giving up nearly four and scoring fewer than three, you’re going to lose a lot of hockey games. New Jersey has been playing well defensively, so Winnipeg can’t expect to get a bunch of easy chances. The Jets need to get more traffic in front of the net and make the Devils work in their own zone.
The Jets are missing Nick Bjugstad and Vladislav Namestnikov, while Josh Morrissey has been dealing with an upper-body injury. Elias Salomonsson is also unavailable. That’s a tough injury list, especially when the defense is already struggling. Winnipeg needs a strong performance in goal and a much better effort clearing rebounds. The Devils have been too dangerous offensively to give them second and third chances.
New Jersey Devils vs Winnipeg Jets Picks and Prediction
Moneyline Pick: New Jersey Devils
I’m taking New Jersey. The Devils have won nine of ten, and Winnipeg has lost seven of its last ten. Sometimes the obvious pick is obvious for a reason. New Jersey has been scoring four goals a night lately, while the Jets have been giving up 3.7. That’s a matchup I like. Winnipeg could turn things around at home, and the Jets have enough ability to win if their goaltending is sharp. But I’m not going to bet against a team playing this well just because it’s on the road.
Total Pick: Over — Pending Verified Line
I lean over. New Jersey has been averaging four goals during its last ten games, and Winnipeg has been allowing almost four. That’s a pretty inviting combination. The Jets haven’t been scoring much, but the Devils have enough offense to do most of the work if Winnipeg’s defense keeps struggling. The danger is New Jersey controlling the game so completely that Winnipeg barely contributes. That could happen. But I think the Jets find a couple of goals at home, and something like 4-2 or 5-2 looks reasonable. I’d check the actual number before making the bet.
