New Jersey Devils vs Winnipeg Jets Picks, Prediction, Odds, and Line Movement for Tuesday November 10 2026

New Jersey's five-game streak brings it to Winnipeg, where the Jets have finally started to win again. The Devils are 13-5-0 and just shut out Toronto 4-0. Winnipeg is 7-8-3 but has taken three in a row after a nine-game stretch without a victory. There is a favorite for good reason here, yet the recent Jets comeback makes this more than a standings mismatch.

Connor Hellebuyck's return to Winnipeg is the obvious storyline after his trade to New Jersey, although he is not scheduled to play his former team. Jake Allen gets the Devils' start, while Nico Daws takes the Winnipeg net. Once the pregame introductions are over, the story shifts to whether the Jets can slow New Jersey's entries and keep Allen from enjoying another quiet evening.

It's a Tuesday evening game at Canada Life Centre, with the exact start hour omitted because published listings conflict. New Jersey has won nine of ten and is 5-3 away from home. Winnipeg's winning streak includes that extraordinary comeback in Montreal, when the Jets erased four goals and won in overtime. Confidence is back; the underlying records still favor the Devils.

The scoring gap is meaningful. New Jersey averages 3.61 goals for and 2.83 against, compared with Winnipeg's 2.72 and 3.50. Winnipeg's three recent wins show the Jets are capable of beating those averages on a given night. The Devils' challenge is to stop the game from turning into a rush exchange that gives Connor repeated clean looks.

New Jersey was -148 at Caesars and DraftKings in a November 10 comparison. BetMGM listed -150 and other books moved as high as -159, with Winnipeg roughly +124 to +133. That spread in prices is not cosmetic. The Devils' case is strongest near -148; paying another ten cents for the same favorite leaves little room for an unexpectedly strong game from Winnipeg.

Books are also divided on a six- or 6.5-goal total. The Jets' offense has been uneven enough that I would rather avoid guessing whether they contribute one goal or three. New Jersey's moneyline is simpler: a victory in regulation or beyond pays the same way. A one-goal finish is a perfectly acceptable result at the listed price.

Jack Hughes centers a productive group with Arseny Gritsyuk and Jesper Bratt, while Nico Hischier joins Timo Meier and Luke Evangelista in another dangerous attacking line. Hughes had 25 points entering the game, and Hischier recently reached 500 career NHL points. Meier scored twice in the 4-0 win over Toronto, evidence that Winnipeg cannot concentrate all its defensive attention on Hughes.

Allen is the confirmed starter, and Sheldon Keefe intends to keep the 11-forward, seven-defenseman setup that worked against Toronto. Anthony Mantha remains out with a throat injury. Luke Hughes, Brett Pesce, Dougie Hamilton and Jonas Siegenthaler can move the puck before Winnipeg's forecheck has time to set. That first pass may matter more than another night of eye-catching rush chances.

Kyle Connor is the Jets' most dangerous finisher with 13 goals, while Mark Scheifele drives much of the setup work and Gabriel Vilardi supplies size around the crease. Winnipeg has enough top-line skill to beat New Jersey if it wins the puck battle early. Cole Perfetti and Brayden Yager also provide secondary scoring options against a Devils team that is not immune to defensive breakdowns.

Daws is set to start for Winnipeg, with Stuart Skinner available behind him. Josh Morrissey's return should sharpen the Jets' breakouts and their defense against New Jersey's speed. Nick Bjugstad is out. Daws has only one NHL start this season entering Tuesday, so treating his current numbers as a reliable prediction would stretch a very small sample.

At roughly 33.7 shots per game, the Devils should be able to test whether Winnipeg can clear rebounds cleanly. Their forecheck is effective when a first shot becomes another possession instead of a change of lines. Connor and Scheifele are capable of turning a failed pinch into a rush the other way. New Jersey must generate pressure without letting its defense get caught high.

Neither team has been particularly dependable killing penalties: the Devils are near 68 percent and the Jets around 72 percent. Discipline therefore matters. If New Jersey takes unnecessary penalties, the margin narrows considerably. At even strength, however, the visitors have the stronger combination of depth, shot generation and consistent recent results.

The Jets' comeback and Morrissey's return make a blowout assumption dangerous. I still lean to the side creating more shots and allowing fewer goals over the full early season. Allen is a known starter, New Jersey has multiple scoring lines, and Winnipeg will be asked to withstand pressure in front of Daws. The moneyline works without asking the Devils to run away with it.

Best Bet: New Jersey Devils moneyline -148 at Caesars, playable at -150 or better. The number is close to the upper end of the preferred price band, so a more expensive listing should be avoided. Prediction: New Jersey Devils 4, Winnipeg Jets 2. New Jersey can build separation through sustained pressure even if the Jets keep the early score close.
