Detroit Red Wings vs New Jersey Devils Prediction & Picks, October 13, 2026

The Detroit Red Wings have been looking strong lately, showing some promise as they take on the New Jersey Devils. Playing at home in Little Caesars Arena gives them a boost, especially since they have a solid group of shooters on their roster. With 46 left-handed shooters and 36 right-handed shooters, they have a good mix to put pressure on the Devils' defense. The biggest risk here is that both teams have had players who didn't reach ten games, which shows they might still be figuring things out. Still, I like the Red Wings to come out on top in this one.

Detroit Red Wings vs New Jersey Devils: Detroit Red Wings +1.5 Puck Lines (-270)

The Detroit Red Wings have struggled lately, winning only 2 of their last 10 games. They'll be facing the New Jersey Devils, who have fared better with 5 wins in their last 10. Despite the Red Wings' recent form, betting on them with a +1.5 goal cushion could be worth considering, especially since they are at home in Little Caesars Arena. The risk here is that both teams are close in skill level, which makes it hard to predict how the game will go. However, our numbers see the Red Wings as a strong favorite to keep it competitive, so they might just hold on for a close game or even a win.

Detroit Red Wings vs New Jersey Devils: Viktor Arvidsson Under 2.5 Shots on Goal (+115)

Viktor Arvidsson is playing for the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena, and it's been a tough season for them so far. They've only won 2 of their last 10 games, which means they might not be firing on all cylinders. The New Jersey Devils, on the other hand, have been doing a bit better with 5 wins in their last 10. This matchup feels pretty close, and that makes predicting individual performances tricky. With both teams still finding their rhythm, betting on Arvidsson to have under 2.5 shots on goal seems like a good call. He might face a lot of pressure from the Devils' defense, who have been solid lately. The biggest risk is how closely matched these teams are right now, so while this bet has potential, it could go either way.

Detroit Red Wings vs New Jersey Devils: John Gibson Over 24.5 Saves (-120)

John Gibson has a solid chance of getting over 24.5 saves in this game. The New Jersey Devils have been scoring well lately, winning 5 of their last 10 games. That means Gibson may face a lot of shots, especially since the Red Wings have only managed to win 2 of their last 10, which could put more pressure on him to stop the puck. While Gibson has the skill to handle this challenge, the risk is that the Red Wings could struggle defensively, making it tricky for him to reach those saves. Still, with the Devils finding their rhythm, it looks like Gibson will be busy tonight. This pick has a good chance of hitting, so let's see how it goes!

Detroit Red Wings vs New Jersey Devils: Albert Johansson Over 0.5 Points (+475)

The Detroit Red Wings will face the New Jersey Devils at Little Caesars Arena, and it's a great chance to back Albert Johansson for a point. While the Red Wings have struggled lately, winning only 2 of their last 10 games, Johansson has shown he can step up in big moments. The Devils are decent, winning 5 of their last 10, but they've been known to give up scoring opportunities. Johansson is an underdog who really has a shot at getting a point in this matchup. The risk here is that both teams are still finding their rhythm this season. If Johansson can connect with his teammates, he might just surprise us all, but it won't be easy.

That is the full board for this game. Prices can move before you get on, so check the board at your bookmaker. Bet what you can afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
