New Jersey Devils vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/31/25

The New Jersey Devils will be heading to Columbus to take on the Blue Jackets on New Year’s Eve. The Devils will be playing their second game in as many days, as they were in Toronto on Tuesday — when they suffered a 4-0 loss. This marks their fourth loss in a row and they are going up against the Blue Jackets, who are riding a 3-game winning streak. This will be the third meeting between these teams this season; they split the first 2 games. Even without Zach Werenski in the lineup, the Blue Jackets have been rolling. Their defensive play has been solid over their last 3 games, as they only allowed 4 total goals during that stretch.

On the flip side, the Devils’ offense has been struggling of late. In their last 6 games, they have only scored 8 goals in regulation. Going up against a dynamic offensive team like the Blue Jackets, in all likelihood this simply won’t be enough to keep pace. I expect the Nationwide Arena to be rocking; this should give the Blue Jackets an extra boost. Give me the home team in this one.
