New Jersey Devils vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction & Picks, October 24, 2026

The New Jersey Devils have been strong lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games. They play solid defense, blocking an average of 12 shots per game, which is below the league average. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Kings are really struggling, managing to win only 1 of their last 10 games. With their current form, it feels like scoring could be tough for them. Given these factors, betting on under 5.5 total goals looks like a decent choice. The combined total our numbers suggest is just below 6 goals, so it's close to a coin flip. However, a big risk is that both teams might surprise us, especially if the Kings' players step up.

New Jersey Devils vs Los Angeles Kings: Los Angeles Kings +1.5 Puck Line (-167)

The New Jersey Devils have been doing pretty well lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games. They play tough defense, blocking a good number of shots, but they haven't been hitting as much as the league average. The Los Angeles Kings, on the other hand, have struggled, winning only 1 of their last 10 games. However, they are still a team that can surprise you on any given night. Betting on the Kings to keep it within 1.5 goals feels like a smart move. Just remember, the Kings have a lot of players who shoot left, which could work against them.

New Jersey Devils vs Los Angeles Kings: Los Angeles Kings 3-Way Moneyline (+220)

The Los Angeles Kings have struggled lately, winning just 1 of their last 10 games. However, New Jersey has also shown some inconsistency, winning 6 of their last 10. This matchup could be closer than it looks since both teams have their ups and downs. The Kings have a lot of left-handed shooters, which might help them find some scoring chances against a team that has been good at blocking shots. Betting on the Kings to win is a bit of a gamble, but the odds are pretty tempting at +220. The biggest risk here is that the Kings have not been winning much, which could make it tough for them to turn things around. Still, they have the potential to surprise and give you a real shot at a win.

New Jersey Devils vs Los Angeles Kings: Mats Zuccarello Over 1.5 Shots on Goal (+100)

You can get even money on Mats Zuccarello to have over 1.5 shots on goal, which looks like a solid chance. The New Jersey Devils have been scoring well lately, winning 6 out of their last 10 games. They play a fast game, and with the Kings struggling, Zuccarello should get opportunities to shoot. There's a slight risk since both teams have different styles; the Devils block fewer shots than the league average. However, with the Kings only winning 1 of their last 10, it feels like Zuccarello will have the chances he needs. Overall, this bet has a good shot at hitting!

New Jersey Devils vs Los Angeles Kings: Timo Meier Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (+150)

Timo Meier has been making a difference for the New Jersey Devils, who have won six of their last ten games. He's been active, and with the way the Devils have been firing shots, betting on him to get over 3.5 shots on goal feels promising. The Kings are struggling lately, only winning one of their last ten games, which might give Meier more chances to shoot. The only worry is that both teams are pretty close in how they're playing right now. While the Devils have been blocking fewer shots than average, Meier's style should still give him a good shot at hitting that number. If he stays aggressive, this could be a nice pick to cheer for.

New Jersey Devils vs Los Angeles Kings: Alex Laferriere Over 0.5 Assists (+175)

Alex Laferriere has a pretty good chance to get at least one assist in this game against the New Jersey Devils. The Devils have been solid lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games, which means they're likely to create plenty of scoring chances. Laferriere is playing for the Kings, who have struggled a lot with only 1 win in their last 10 games. Still, he might get opportunities because the Kings are known for having a lot of left-handed shooters, and this could help open up some plays. The main risk here is that the Kings' overall performance has been quite poor, making it tougher for Laferriere to find his chances. But if he gets on the ice with the right players, he could easily rack up that assist. With the odds at +175, it's worth a shot!
