Prediction commentary

Based on data as of 12 Oct, 23:05

Detroit Red Wings to beat New Jersey Devils. The model expects Detroit to score more goals (3 to 2.7), and they have won 2 of 3 home meetings against the Devils in the last two seasons.

Detroit are 8th after 5 matches with just 1 win and 4 losses, while New Jersey sit 12th with 2 wins and 2 losses in 4 games. The Devils have played fewer matches but their recent record shows 2 victories and 3 defeats across their last 5 outings. Detroit have scored 10 goals and conceded 15, New Jersey 11 and 18.

The head-to-head shows competitive matches. In the last 12 meetings Detroit have 5 wins and New Jersey 7. The most recent fixture on 11 April 2026 ended 3:5 to the Devils at Detroit, but before that Detroit won 3:0 at New Jersey in March. In the 2024-25 season, Detroit won 5:3 at home and lost 4:5 away.

The model anticipates a high-scoring affair. Both teams to score comes in at 89%, and 3 or more goals in the match at 92%. The most probable scoreline is 2:2 at 6%, followed by 3:2 and 2:3 each at 5%. Detroit's expected goals are 3 versus New Jersey's 2.

A draw would suit the visitors — given how they run the clock down, that is the main threat. New Jersey have shown they can grind out results, winning 3:2 against Philadelphia and 4:1 against Vancouver. But Detroit need to attack, and the model's expectation that they score more goals points toward them taking the initiative rather than sitting back.

The 18% probability for a draw is not negligible, and if the Devils manage to frustrate Detroit without conceding, the home side's advantage evaporates.

Detroit 3:2 is the most likely outcome. New Jersey will have to be at their best to avoid another home defeat.
