Florida Panthers vs New Jersey Devils Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/03/26

The Florida Panthers make the second of two stops in the New York City metropolitan area with a visit to face the New Jersey Devils. The two-time defending champions picked up a 1-0 win in the most recent meeting on Nov. 20, while New Jersey won 3-1 in the first meeting on Oct. 16 in Newark. The home team has cashed in each of the first two games, while also cashing as a moderate favorite (-150) in both meetings, while the Under (5.5) cashed in each of the games, too. The Devils have won three of the past five in the series, while the Under has hit in three in a row, and seven of the past 10 meetings.

For Florida, it is struggling to get into the playoff picture, and it lost a disappointing 5-4 game against the New York Islanders last time out, its second straight one-goal loss. It can’t leave many more points on the ice if it hopes to qualify for the playoffs. The Panthers are just 2-7-0 in the past nine games, collecting just four out of a possible 18 points. If Florida misses the playoffs, it can look to this stretch as the reason why. New Jersey posted a 3-1 win on the road against the St. Louis Blues on Saturday. It is just 1-5-0 in the past six games, while the Under has cashed in seven consecutive outings.

Panthers vs Devils prediction: Under 5.5 (+100) available at time of publishing. Playable to -110.
