Winnipeg Jets vs New Jersey Devils Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/27/26

Tuesday night in the NHL brings us a matchup between the Winnipeg Jets and New Jersey Devils. Although they hail from different conferences, these teams are well aware of each other following a January 11 bout that resulted in a tight 4-3 Jets win. Here is a Jets vs Devils prediction for their final meeting of the season.

When these teams met last we saw a total of 7 goals, and I am expecting a similar result in this game. The total is set quite low at 5.5 goals, and in a combined effort I think these teams can satisfy the over. Both teams come into this one with decent powerplays near the 20% mark and mediocre penalty kills less than 80%. Goaltending and team defense have not been ideal for both, as they both allow 3.06 goals per game and have sub-.897 save percentages. Both teams have not necessarily showcased impressive offense, either, but the teams have combined for 8 games where one of them has scored 4+ goals in a game this month. There are many elite offensive players on each side, and with streaky defenses from both. I think this is when we see them explode. Let’s back Over 5.5 for our Jets vs Devils prediction.

Jets vs Devils prediction: Over 5.5 (-130) available at time of publishing. Playable at that total to -140.
