New Jersey Devils vs Washington Capitals Prediction & Picks, November 12, 2026

The New Jersey Devils are on fire, winning 8 of their last 10 games and showing their scoring power. They've been hitting the ice hard, but they do average fewer hits and blocks than the league. Meanwhile, the Washington Capitals are also playing well, having won 7 of their last 10, and they're blocking a lot of shots and delivering plenty of hits. With both teams finding ways to score, taking the total goals to be over 6.5 seems promising. However, it's worth noting that our numbers suggest the combined total might be closer to just under 6. So, while there's a good chance for a high-scoring game, it could easily fall short if both defenses tighten up.

New Jersey Devils vs Washington Capitals: New Jersey Devils 2nd Period 3-Way Moneyline (+145)

The New Jersey Devils have been on fire lately, winning 8 out of their last 10 games. Their strong form at home makes them a tough opponent for anyone. While they don't block as many shots as other teams, they make up for it with their aggressive play, which can really disrupt the other team's flow. The Washington Capitals are also doing well, winning 7 of their last 10, but they rely heavily on blocking shots and making hits. This matchup feels pretty close, and the Devils have the advantage of home ice. Picking New Jersey to win the second period feels like a solid bet, but be aware that the Capitals can surprise anyone if they get on a roll.

New Jersey Devils vs Washington Capitals: New Jersey Devils -0.5 2nd Period Puck Line (+145)

The New Jersey Devils have been on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games. They've shown strong teamwork and resilience, especially at home, which makes them a solid pick against the Washington Capitals. The Capitals have not been consistent, with many players still finding their footing after joining the team. Betting on the Devils to lead by at least one goal in the second period could pay off nicely, especially with their current form. However, there's a risk here because the Capitals are always dangerous and can surprise on any given night. Overall, the Devils have a real chance to keep their momentum going.

New Jersey Devils vs Washington Capitals: Jack Hughes Under 4.5 Shots on Goal (-154)

The odds for Jack Hughes to have under 4.5 shots on goal look promising. The New Jersey Devils are on a roll, winning 8 of their last 10 games, but they don't rely heavily on individual shot counts. They average just over 11 shots blocked per game, which shows their defense is solid, and they aren't taking as many chances. On the other hand, the Washington Capitals have also been winning, taking 7 of their last 10. They block an impressive 17 shots a game, so Hughes might not get as many chances as he would like. The most concrete risk here is that Hughes can turn it on when needed, but the overall trends suggest he might struggle to hit that 5-shot mark.

New Jersey Devils vs Washington Capitals: Alex Ovechkin Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (+195)

Alex Ovechkin is a superstar who loves to shoot, and he's been on fire lately with the Washington Capitals winning 7 of their last 10 games. The New Jersey Devils have also been strong, winning 8 of their last 10, so it's a matchup of two teams in great form. This should lead to plenty of action, and Ovechkin is known for getting a lot of shots off, making the bet of over 2.5 shots on goal an exciting option. The most concrete risk is that both teams are currently playing at a high level, so it might not be easy for Ovechkin to find the space he needs. However, with the way he's been playing, it feels like a solid chance he'll get those shots off. Plus, with the game taking place at the Prudential Center, there should be plenty of energy in the arena.

New Jersey Devils vs Washington Capitals: Dylan Strome Over 1.5 Goals (+3000)

Dylan Strome is showing some real promise lately, and he's been part of a Washington Capitals team that has won 7 of their last 10 games. The Devils are also on a hot streak, winning 8 of their last 10, which should make for an exciting game. Both teams have been scoring well, and with Strome's recent form, betting on him to score over 1.5 goals is an interesting pick, even if it's a long shot. One risk to consider is that the Devils have been pretty solid defensively, blocking a lot of shots. Still, with both teams pushing hard for goals, there's a good chance that Strome could find the net. This matchup could be high-scoring, so let's see if he can take advantage of the opportunities.
