New Jersey Devils vs. Winnipeg Jets Betting Preview
The goaltending matchup is the story. Connor Hellebuyck, traded from Winnipeg to New Jersey in October, will not start in his return. The Devils called it an organizational decision tied to his workload, since Sunday’s shutout in Toronto was his third start in six nights. Hellebuyck is 5-0-0 with a 1.96 GAA and a .913 save percentage since the trade. That is the goalie the market will not face tonight.
Instead, Jake Allen gets the start for New Jersey. The 36-year-old is 6-3-0 with a 3.20 GAA and an .881 save percentage this season. His history against Winnipeg is rough, too. Allen is 9-11-3 with a 3.18 GAA and an .884 save percentage in 24 career games against the Jets.
Winnipeg has not confirmed its starter, so this half of the read is provisional. Stuart Skinner is the projected choice after starting Sunday against Tampa Bay. He is 6-4-3 with a 3.26 GAA and an .883 save percentage. If the Jets turn to Nico Daws, who came over in the Hellebuyck deal, the read on the crease barely changes. Neither option has been sharp this season.
The trade itself still shapes both rosters. Winnipeg received Dawson Mercer, Nico Daws, Nick Bjugstad, the rights to prospect Alexander Command and two draft picks for Hellebuyck. Mercer has four points in eight games with the Jets. Bjugstad, meanwhile, is on long-term injured reserve. The deal gave New Jersey the better goalie, but it does not help the Devils tonight.
The skaters tilt toward New Jersey. The Devils are 13-5-0 and have won nine of their last ten. However, three of the five wins in the current streak needed overtime or a shootout, so the run is less dominant than it looks. Jack Hughes has 25 points in 18 games, including 11 in his last five. Jesper Bratt adds 18 points. Anthony Mantha is out, and Riley Tufte was recalled from Utica.
Winnipeg is 7-8-3, and its three-game win streak followed a nine-game winless skid. Kyle Connor leads the team with 13 goals and 19 points, while Mark Scheifele has 18 points. Josh Morrissey has missed an extended stretch, and his status for tonight is unclear. Both teams had Monday off, so neither side is on a back-to-back. This game also closes a three-game road trip for New Jersey.

Devils vs. Jets Prediction — Hellebuyck in the Tunnel, Allen in the Crease
Start with the two goalies. Allen sits at .881 and Skinner at .883, both well below what a team needs to win low-scoring games. Hockey totals are built from goaltending first, and neither crease gives the under a foundation tonight. Hellebuyck sitting matters here, too. Had he started, this would be a very different conversation.
The scoring profiles back it up. New Jersey has scored 65 goals and allowed 51 through 18 games, roughly 3.6 for and 2.8 against per night. Winnipeg has scored 49 and allowed 63, about 2.7 for and 3.5 against. Meanwhile, the recent results run high. The Devils’ last four wins finished 4-3, 5-4, 5-4 and 4-0, and the Jets’ streak included 5-4 and 6-2 decisions. Special teams add fuel, since both penalty kills are operating below 72%. The market has drifted the same way since the open, which confirms the read rather than creating it.
The case against is real. The posted number sits on a common hockey final score, so a push is a live outcome. In addition, Winnipeg’s scoring has been thin for most of the season, and a rested Jets team could choose to tighten up at home. Still, two sub-.885 goaltenders and two leaky penalty kills give this side more aligned signals than anything else on the board. The full-game total also counts overtime and the shootout, which adds one more path to a high-event finish.
The Pick: Over 6.0 (-120)
Devils vs. Jets Prediction — Six Power-Play Goals Meet a Kill Under 68 Percent
Kyle Connor has 13 goals, and six of them came on the power play. Winnipeg’s power play is converting at 21.82%, and it gets a soft matchup tonight. New Jersey’s penalty kill has allowed 12 goals on 37 chances, a rate that ranks last in the league. Connor’s role on the top unit makes him the most direct way to play that gap. Our earlier Jets vs. Lightning preview has more background on Winnipeg’s attack.
The risk is volume. New Jersey has given up only 37 power plays, so the Devils do not take many penalties, and this bet needs at least one. Also, this pick rests on the same special teams input as the first, so the two are not independent. If the Devils stay out of the box, both reads lose some footing. Even so, the plus-money price leaves room for that risk, given how lopsided the special teams matchup looks.
The Pick: Kyle Connor 1+ Powerplay Points (+150)
Our Final Word on Devils vs. Jets
The moneyline is the tempting play, since New Jersey is the better team and the price moved from -145 to -150 in its favor. However, the Devils’ strength has leaned on Hellebuyck lately, and -150 demands a 60% win rate with Allen in net. That is too thin for us. The puck line is no better, because a two-goal Devils win asks even more of a 36-year-old goalie against a team that has historically given him trouble. Empty-net goals help that side late, but not enough to change the read. Our Devils vs. Golden Knights preview from late October has more on New Jersey’s season. Tonight, we prefer the goals over the side.
Our top play is Over 6.0 (-120), because two goalies below .885 and two weak penalty kills point toward a high-event game. Our second play is Kyle Connor 1+ Powerplay Points (+150), because Winnipeg’s top power-play scorer draws a New Jersey penalty kill that has allowed 12 goals on 37 chances.
