Calgary Flames vs New Jersey Devils Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/12/26

The New Jersey Devils are looking to get back on track on Thursday night when they host the Calgary Flames at the Prudential Center. The Devils had reeled off 4 straight wins before falling to the Red Wings by a score of 3-0 on Sunday. New Jersey has a strong scheduling advantage in this one, as Sheldon Keefe’s squad has not played since that matchup against Detroit on Sunday, giving them 3 days of rest between games. On the other side, the Flames are in the midst of a 5-game road trip and will be playing their 3rd game in 4 nights. The Flames have lost each of their first 2 games on the trip, falling to the Capitals 7-3 on Monday and the Rangers 4-0 on Tuesday.

The Flames have struggled on the road all season long, as they own a less-than-ideal record of 9-20-3 away from the Scotiabank Saddledome so far this season. Calgary has also moved on from some key pieces in recent weeks, trading away veterans Rasmus Andersson, Nazem Kadri, and Mackenzie Weegar. The Flames were already having a tough season, but finishing out the campaign without those veteran presences could make for a long final stretch of the season. After struggling for most of the season, the New Jersey offense has woken up lately scoring 18 total goals over its 4-game win streak. After being held off the scoreboard entirely in their last contest, I am confident that the Devils can take care of business and find the win column against the Flames.
