New Jersey Devils vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/05/26

The New Jersey Devils will be visiting the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday evening. This will be the second consecutive game in as many days against one another for these two teams. The Canadiens won 4-3 in a shootout in New Jersey on Saturday. The Canadiens are on fire right now. They find themselves only 2 points out of the Atlantic Division lead, and 4 points out of the top spot in the entire Eastern Conference. They are on an 8-game winning streak, and they are 9-1-0 in their last 10 games. I expect they will be pushing for the top spot in the division, or at least looking to hold the 2nd place in the division to secure home ice in the first round. The offense of the Canadiens is elite. Led by Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki, Suzuki is sitting at 95 points on the season and Caufield is 1 goal away from his first career 50-goal season. As a team they are averaging 3.50 goals per game, good for 5th-best in the NHL.

The Devils have nothing left to play for, and I expect the red-hot Canadiens to dominate them on home ice. Give me the Canadiens in this one.
