Colorado Avalanche vs New Jersey Devils Prediction & Picks, October 28, 2026

The Colorado Avalanche have had a bit of a rough patch lately, winning only 4 of their last 10 games. However, they play at home and have shown they can be tough to break down, averaging 14.5 blocked shots per game. This suggests their defense can hold firm, especially in the second period when the game gets intense. On the other hand, the New Jersey Devils have been better, winning 6 of their last 10. They also average fewer blocked shots than Colorado. Considering the Avalanche are the underdogs here, a bet on them to lead by at least one goal in the second period seems worth a shot. Just remember, the Devils can be tricky, and they've got momentum on their side.

Colorado Avalanche vs New Jersey Devils: New Jersey Devils 3-Way Moneyline (+180)

For the New Jersey Devils to win tonight, they need to outplay the Colorado Avalanche on the road. The Devils are coming off a stronger recent performance, winning six of their last ten games, while the Avalanche have only won four in that same stretch. The Devils also have a slight advantage in blocking shots, showing they can defend well, which might help them control the game. However, the Avalanche have home ice and could put up a fight. New Jersey's recent form suggests they have a real chance, but it's important to note that they also land fewer hits than the league average, which might affect their physical play. Still, with the odds at +180, this is a solid pick for a fun wager.

Colorado Avalanche vs New Jersey Devils: New Jersey Devils +1.5 Puck Lines (-182)

For this bet, New Jersey Devils just need to keep the game close or win outright against the Colorado Avalanche. The Devils have been doing well lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games, while the Avalanche have only won 4 of theirs. With the Devils blocking fewer shots and having slightly less physicality than league averages, they might struggle against Colorado's strong defense. However, the Avalanche haven't been as dominant at home, which gives New Jersey a chance to stay competitive. The most concrete risk is that both teams are close in form, meaning the game could go either way. Still, the Devils have shown they can put up a fight, making this a solid pick.

Colorado Avalanche vs New Jersey Devils: Mackenzie Blackwood Over 26.5 Saves (-105)

At Ball Arena, Mackenzie Blackwood is set to face the Colorado Avalanche, and there's a good chance he'll make over 26.5 saves in this game. The Avalanche have been scoring at a steady pace despite only winning 4 out of their last 10 games. They average a solid number of shots on goal, which means Blackwood will likely be busy in the net. Blackwood has shown he can handle a lot of shots, but the New Jersey Devils have been blocking fewer shots than the league average. With the Avalanche's offensive pressure, this could put Blackwood in a position to make more saves than usual. The biggest risk here is that both teams are pretty close in form, so it might be a nail-biter.

Colorado Avalanche vs New Jersey Devils: Jack Hughes Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (+116)

Jack Hughes has been on a roll lately, helping the New Jersey Devils win 6 of their last 10 games. His scoring ability and playmaking skills should shine against the Colorado Avalanche, who have been allowing plenty of opportunities. Hughes has a good chance to get over 3.5 shots on goal, especially since Colorado tends to give up chances and is still getting comfortable with their defensive game. While both teams are competitive, Colorado's recent form shows they've struggled a bit, winning only 4 of their last 10. The Avalanche also have a solid shot-blocking average, which could be a bit of a worry for Hughes. Still, with his talent and the way he's been playing, this bet feels promising for a fun night of hockey.

Colorado Avalanche vs New Jersey Devils: Brent Burns Over 1.5 Shots on Goal (+120)

Brent Burns to get over 1.5 shots on goal is priced at +120, which offers solid value considering how he has been performing. The Colorado Avalanche have had some struggles lately, winning only 4 of their last 10 games, but they are known for their high-paced offense. Burns has been an important part of that, and with the Avalanche blocking an average of 14.5 shots a game, he should find opportunities to shoot. On the other hand, the New Jersey Devils have been winning more often, taking 6 of their last 10 games, but their defense is not as strong in blocking shots. They only average 12.1 blocks per game, leaving openings for Burns to take his shots. The risk in this bet is that both teams are close in performance overall, but with the right chances, Burns could definitely hit that mark.
