Devils vs Oilers Picks and Odds Tonight: Devils Win As Road Favorites

The New Jersey Devils roll into Rogers Place tonight to face the Edmonton Oilers who've surprisingly won their last two games even without superstar Connor McDavid. Also surprisingly, the Oilers are the home dogs tonight at +110 on the BET99 moneyline.

I won't chase profits on this by taking Edmonton to win, I'm backing the Devils to win at BET99's -130 odds despite being 2-6SU over their last eight games in Edmonton.

See our +475 same-game parlay that relies on the total going above six goals and for Jack Hughes to toss a bunch of pucks on the net.

Devils ML (-120) at BET99

New Jersey has a poor 2-5SU record in their last seven games against the Oilers and holds that previously mentioned 2-6SU record over their previous eight games in Edmonton. But I'm still taking New Jersey to win because Edmonton is without McDavid.

I know, the Oilers have won two straight games since McDavid went down with an injury, but they're also 26-33SU (44%) without McDavid in the lineup and went 2-6SU in their previous eight games without the phenom. It's impossible to fill his incredibly productive skates, though Leon Draisailt is trying with six points in the two games without No.97, OVER 1.5 points for Draisaitl tonight is +150 at BET99.

New Jersey is a good team with the ninth-highest 5on5 xGF% at 52.30, not to mention, that goalie Jacob Markstrom is turning around a tough start to the year stopping 73 of 77 shots faced over his last three starts for a 0.948SV% and 1.35GAA. Don't underestimate the Devils because they're 2-5SU over their last seven games I won't.

New Jersey wins this matchup despite the Oilers winning their last two games and holding the edge based on the betting trends.

Devils vs Oilers Same Game Parlay Tonight

I've spent enough digital ink laying out reasons the Devils win this game in Edmonton. Don't take the Edmonton as a home dog bait, it's not worth it, the Devils will win this game.

I knew Edmonton's poor shooting percentage wouldn't last long, they proved me right in their last two games scoring nine goals on 15% of their shots, their offense has woken up and it may never fall asleep again. Meanwhile, the Devils boast a strong offense with the 10th-best goals-per-game rate at 3.55. These two strong offensive teams will push the total above six goals.

Jack Hughes has gone above three shots four times in his last five games (80%) and 13 times in his last 17 games (77%). Last year in two games against the Oilers, Hughes notched eight shots, four per game. This is an easy win leg for our parlay.

Devils vs Oilers Player Prop Tonight

Zach Hyman UNDER 3.5 SOG (-160) at BET99

Per Outlier, Zach Hyman has gone UNDER 3.5 shots in 16 of his last 19 games and I suspect he'll make that 17 for his last 20 games tonight against the Devils.

While Hyman has goals in back-to-back games, he isn't shooting much going below four shots in both games. And his opponents tonight, the New Jersey Devils, are pretty good at keeping shot counts low. In their last three games, the Devils have allowed an average of 26 shots and hold the eighth-lowest shots-against rate in the league at 27.6. That's how Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe likes it, specifically on the road where his 2023-24 Leafs' held the seventh-lowest shots-against rate per game at 29.5
