New Jersey Devils vs Dallas Stars Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/24/26

The New Jersey Devils and Dallas Stars  clash as part of a massive Tuesday in the NHL. This is the second and final meeting for the two this season, after a 3-0 takedown by Dallas in December. How will this one play out? Here is our expert Devils vs Stars prediction.

New Jersey owns the 5th-lowest goals per game average of 2.65 goals per game, and are taking on an elite defensive team in Dallas that owns the second-best goals against average of 2.66. The Devils have produced a decent power play of 22.7%, but expect that to be diminished against a Stars penalty kill succeeding at 80.7%. New Jersey also has the second-worst shooting rate of 8.8%, while Dallas as a team has produced a top-ten save percentage of .904. The numbers are one thing and they spell disaster for New Jersey, but Dallas is in the thick of a race to the lead in the overall NHL standings. Therefore, I expect their strengths to show in full light, shutting down any New Jersey offense. Dallas has an elite offense as well, but New Jersey hasn’t been completely lost defensively, so they will not be able to carry the goal total alone. We saw just three total goals the last time these two met, and I am expecting yet another low-scoring finish. Take the under 5.5 for our Devils vs. Stars prediction.
