The Devils look for a bounce-back performance
The New Jersey Devils just finished their three-game homestand with a 2-0-1 record. After a 4-3 overtime victory to the Montreal Canadiens and a 2-1 shootout win against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Devils lost to the New York Islanders 3-2 in overtime this past Monday.

The Devils outshot the Islanders 35-24, and Simon Nemec’s first goal of the season with 4.7 seconds left in regulation earned New Jersey a point. Timo Meier accounted for a goal and an assist, Jesper Bratt made two dishes, and Jacob Markstrom gave up three goals on 24 shots.
Markstrom fell to 4-2-1 on the season. The veteran goalie holds an ugly 3.82 GAA and a .872 save percentage, while fellow veteran Jake Allen is 6-2-0 with a sharp 2.29 GAA and a .914 save percentage this season.
The Devils allow 2.94 goals per game (tied for 12th in the NHL) and score 3.31 goals in return (tied for 8th). Jack Hughes leads the way with 10 goals and eight assists, while Jesper Bratt has amassed five goals and 11 dishes. The Devils miss defensemen Brett Pesce and Dougie Hamilton.
The Blackhawks eye their fourth straight W
The Chicago Blackhawks just finished their six-game road trip with a 3-2-1 record. After consecutive defeats against the Winnipeg Jets 6-3, the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 in overtime, and the Seattle Kraken 3-1, the Blackhawks won three straight over the Vancouver Canucks 5-2, the Calgary Flames 4-0, and the Detroit Red Wings 5-1.
Last Sunday, the Blackhawks needed just 20 shots to score five goals in Detroit. Connor Bedard accounted for a goal and two assists, Artyom Levshunov made two assists, and Arvid Soderblom posted a whopping 45 saves.
Soderblom is now 2-2-1 with a 2.63 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 2025-26. Spencer Knight is expected to return to the crease on Wednesday, and the 24-year-old netminder is 6-3-2 with a strong 2.33 GAA and a .926 save percentage this season.
The Blackhawks allow just 2.50 goals per game (tied for 2nd in the NHL) and score 3.31 goals in return (tied for 8th). Connor Bedard has been unstoppable thus far, notching nine goals and 16 assists in 16 games, while Andre Burakovsky (G7, A7) and Tyler Bertuzzi (G9, A5) have recorded 14 points each. Center Frank Nazar (G5, A6) is doubtful for Wednesday’s clash against New Jersey.
Devils vs. Blackhawks Pick
Moneyline Pick for Devils vs. Blackhawks
- Chicago Blackhawks (5 units)
This game will be a joy to watch, and I think there is value on the Blackhawks. The Devils are one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, but they miss a couple of very important defensemen. Connor Bedard is on an eight-game point streak, and he’ll continue to shine.
Moreover, the Blackhawks’ defense is one of the most pleasant surprises of the season. Spencer Knight is coming off his first shutout in a Blackhawks jersey, and he’s emerged victorious in five of his previous seven starts.
Over/Under Pick for Devils vs. Blackhawks
- Under 6.5 (5 units)
Spencer Knight shot the Red Wings down last time out. He’s amassed a staggering 76 saves over his last two starts, so I expect another strong performance from the Blackhawks’ starting goaltender.
On the other side, the Devils will probably turn to Jake Allen. The Devils need a strong outing from their goalie, as they miss Brett Pesce and Dougie Hamilton on the blueline.
Interestingly, these two teams are in the top eight in the league in both power-play percentage and penalty-killing percentage. The total looks like a tricky wager, but I will lean on Spencer Knight and take the under.
