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

The New Jersey Devils have been playing solidly lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games. They have a strong defensive game, blocking an average of 12 shots per game, which helps keep the score low. On the flip side, the Los Angeles Kings are struggling, managing to win only 1 of their last 10 games. Their offense hasn't been very productive, making it tough for them to put up big numbers. With both teams facing challenges in scoring, betting on under 5.5 total goals seems smart. The combined total from our numbers is just about 5.9, which shows it's tight, and the risk is that both teams might surprise us and put on a stronger offensive show than expected. But given their recent form, it feels like a low-scoring game is more likely.

New Jersey Devils vs Los Angeles Kings: Los Angeles Kings +0.5 3rd Period Puck Line (-130)

The New Jersey Devils have been doing pretty well lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games. They tend to block fewer shots than the league average, which could give the Kings some chances to score. Betting on the Kings to win the third period with a slight cushion seems smart here. The Devils might have home ice, but the Kings are due for some better play. The risk is that the Kings have not been performing well lately, but they might find their groove when it matters most.

New Jersey Devils vs Los Angeles Kings: Los Angeles Kings 2nd Period Moneyline (+148)

The Los Angeles Kings have had a tough time lately, winning just one of their last ten games. Despite this, they're facing a New Jersey Devils team that has had some ups and downs, winning six of their last ten. The Kings will be looking to regroup and show some fight, especially with their players trying to make an impact. Betting on the Kings to win the second period could be a smart move. They have a solid chance as the Devils have been blocking fewer shots than average, which might give the Kings more opportunities to score. The biggest worry here is how close the recent performances have been for both teams, which could make this game quite competitive.

New Jersey Devils vs Los Angeles Kings: Timo Meier Over 4.5 Shots on Goal (+320)

Timo Meier has been looking good lately, and the New Jersey Devils have won 6 of their last 10 games. With their offense clicking and a solid home crowd behind them at Prudential Center, it seems like a great time for Meier to stand out. The Kings have struggled, managing to win only 1 of their last 10, which could create more chances for the Devils to shoot. Betting on Meier to have over 4.5 shots on goal feels promising. The Kings have a lot of left shooters, which might open things up for Meier as a right shooter. However, since both teams have been inconsistent, there's a chance it could be a tighter game than expected. Still, Meier has a real shot to make this happen.
