2025-26 season series: New Jersey won 2-0
Edmonton played Sunday at the -130 New York Rangers and the Oilers, who had opened their current 3-game road trip with a 4-1 triumph at the New York Islanders Friday, filed a 4-1 (Under 6.5) victory over a scuffling Rangers club. Edmonton is a robust 7-0-0 on road ice.
New Jersey has been off since Friday, when it wrapped up a 3-game Western Conference road swing by defeating the -115 Vegas Golden Knights 5-2 (Over 6.5). C Jack Hughes and

Prediction
Devils 4, Oilers 3
Moneyline
PASS; look to the PL for the best play.
Puck line/Against the spread
Undefeated-on-the-road Edmonton has overall scored 4-plus goals in 6 of its last 8 games. The Oilers have been a strong first-period club, and that plays into a lean on taking them on the Puck Line for this tough test at New Jersey.
A tremendous power play feeds Edmonton's 4.20 goals-per-game average, which ranks second in the NHL. The Oilers have netted a PP goal in 8 straight contests; their overall 32.7% conversion rate ranks third in the league.
The Devils have been very good at both ends of the ice, but they have not been great when playing down a man (70% PK, 27th NHL). They rarely get penalized, though, and that plays into not taking the Oilers outright in this one. And Edmonton will tangle with a quality netminder in Hellebuyck, who would be making his home debut.
For the visitors, Jarry comes in with some confidence, and he has an excellent history in early-season games.
BACK THE OILERS +1.5 (-190).
Over/Under
Four of the last 5 series meetings in Newark have hit the Over. The Under has cashed in Edmonton's last 3 games, but that comes on the heels of 5 straight Overs, and the Over is 8-1 across New Jersey's last 9 games.
The Oiler offense may be a tad too far out over its skis, but the special-teams production is worthy of some respect. And 5-on-5 analytics are bullish on the Devils upping their current GPG average of 3.43 (10th). New Jersey has yet to cash in on an average percentage on what is a top-5 count in high-danger looks.
Seven of the last 9 series meetings were tagged with totals of 6.5 or higher.
The OVER 6 (-115) is a solid play.
