Detroit gets its first look at the Devils tonight in Newark, stepping into a building where New Jersey hasn’t lost in regulation. Puck drop is 7 p.m. EST at the Prudential Center with streaming on ESPN+.
The Red Wings (13-8-1) sit atop the Atlantic Division but continue to ride a streaky month. The Wings, winners of three of their last four, are coming off a 4–3 overtime win over Columbus, a night where they wiped out a two-goal deficit in the third to salvage their homestand.
Cam Talbot has been the stabilizer in the net with a 9-2-0 record and 2.66 GAA, while captain Dylan Larkin leads the scoring push at 24 points and a team-high 12 goals. Lucas Raymond enters with eight points in his last five games.
New Jersey (13-7-1) returns home from a five-game road trip that ended with three straight losses, including a 6–3 defeat in Philadelphia. The Devils have been leaning on Jesper Bratt, who leads the team with 21 points, and goaltender Jake Allen, who carries a .908 save percentage into tonight’s matchup. New Jersey’s power play sits at 23.6%, but the club has scored only four goals over its last three games.

“Both teams have exactly 13 overall wins this season, but the Devils have been extremely strong at home, with just one overtime loss in their eight home games this season. They are better both offensively and defensively, and even though they have three consecutive losses – all of them on the road – I like them in a bounce-back spot at home today. Take the Devils.” — Nikos Lagouretos, PickDawgz
“The Red Wings have won three of their last four games, while the Devils have lost three straight games. Detroit has the edge because they’re playing well offensively and have scored at least four goals in four of their last six games …. The Devils are good at killing penalties, but they’re not playing well defensively, giving up 12 goals in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Red Wings.” — Bosun Akinpelu, Winners and Whiners
“The Red Wings are playing the better hockey and have found their offensive groove as of late. The problem is we’re not getting enough bang for our buck, and the Devils are ridiculously good on their home ice. The Devils have earned points in all eight home games and have won seven of them. The Devils have to be thrilled to be back home after a five-game road trip. This will be their first home game in two weeks. I’m going to side with the home/road splits and take the Devils to end their three-game losing streak.” — Randy Chambers, Sports Chat Place
