New Jersey Devils vs St. Louis Blues Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/28/26

Jack Hughes and the New Jersey Devils will be trying to get back on the winning track when they visit the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night. New Jersey was bad prior to the Winter Olympics break and it appears to be every bit as bad upon the resumption of the NHL season. As such, my Devils vs Blues pick is for the home team to get the job done. With back-to-back setbacks against Buffalo and Pittsburgh since the Olympics, New Jersey has now dropped 5 games in a row. It preceded the stoppage with 3 straight losses to Ottawa, Columbus and New York. Unbelievably, the Devils have not scored more than a single goal on any occasion during this skid. They have not won in regulation since January 23, which is also the last time they lit the lamp more than 3 times in a game.

For St. Louis, the break may have been just what the doctor ordered. The Blues were on a 3-game slide of their own, but they came back and clobbered a decent Seattle squad 5-1 on Thursday. Joel Hofer was in the net for that contest in place of Jordan Binnington and that is expected to be the case again for this one following Binnington’s big effort in Milan with silver medalist Canada. A Hughes vs Binnington rematch would be enticing, but it will likely be Hofer. And why not? He is sporting a 2.87 goals-against average and .897 save percentage (both better than Binnington), and he was stellar against the Kraken earlier this week (23 saves on 24 shots). Expect the Devils’ woes to continue.
