New Jersey Devils vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/20/26

The New Jersey Devils make their second stop on a four-game road trip against the Edmonton Oilers, and it’s their second day in as many nights in the province of Alberta. New Jersey picked up a 2-1 victory in overtime, as Simon Nemec made a winner of Jacob Markstrom on Monday. The Devils are 3-5-0 in 8 games this season when playing on no rest, and 2 of those victories came against the Minnesota Wild. The Devils are 3-1-0 in the past 4 games, and they’re 7-4-0 in the past 11 games as an underdog on the puck line, too. However, the back-to-back situation is concerning.

For the Oilers, they’ve won consecutive games by an 11-0 margin, with both Tristan Jarry and Connor Ingram posting back-to-back victories against the Vancouver Canucks and St. Louis Blues. Edmonton is 5-1-2 in the past 8 games, and it has allowed one or no goals in 4 of the past 5 games since Jan. 12. The Devils won their most recent visit to Edmonton on Nov. 4, 2024, winning 3-0, and they’re 2-5-0 in the past 7 meetings against the Oilers. Still, the back-to-back is a tough spot for the Devils, and the fact Edmonton comes in with a lengthy shutout streak is back news for New Jersey, too.

Devils vs Oilers prediction: Oilers ML (-160) at time of publishing. Playable to -170.
