New Jersey Devils vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/11/25

Both the New Jersey Devils and Tampa Bay Lightning come into this game seeking their first win after opening their seasons with a loss. They both competed in high-scoring affairs in their first outings mainly due to sloppy defensive play. The Lightning suffered a 5-4 loss to the Senators and the Devils gave up 6 goals to the Hurricanes in a 6-3 setback. The Lightning led the league last season with an impressive 3.6 goals per game; the Devils averaged just under 3 goals per game. They both boast dynamic forward groups with lethal scoring ability. Should there be any penalties in the game, some power-play goals can be expected. Both power-play units ranked inside the top 5 in the NHL, clicking at better than a 25 percent success rate.

Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point combined for 5 points on Thursday night. These 2 players alone should be able to most of the heavy lifting when it comes to producing offense in this game. Let’s not forget about Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt at the other end of the ice who can score goals in bunches, themselves. I think we are in for a big offensive game.
