Boston Bruins vs New Jersey Devils Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/16/26

The New Jersey Devils have won 5 of their last 7 games heading into a home date with the Boston Bruins on Monday night. New Jersey was hopeless offensively going into the Winter Olympics break and they were briefly the same coming out of it, scoring a grand total of 4 goals during a 5-game stretch. However, it has all turned around now. The Devils have scored 28 goals in their last 7 contests, a stretch that features a pair of 6-goal performances — 1 of which came in Saturday’s 6-4 victory over Los Angeles. As such, my Bruins vs Devils pick is Over 5.5.

Jack Hughes has 5 goals and 2 assists in the last 4 games, including a hat trick against the Rangers on March 7. Luke Hughes has dished out an assist in 4 of the last 5 contests and he also scored once in a 5-4 setback against Calgary last Thursday. It sounds like backup Jake Allen could be in the net for the home side on Thursday instead of Jacob Markstrom, so that is a potential development to monitor. The under is 8-2 in Boston’s last 10 on the road, 4-1 in New Jersey’s last 5 overall and 3-1 in the last 4 head-to-head meetings. Look for those trends to continue.

Bruins vs Devils prediction: Over 5.5 (-125) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
