Two teams fighting for their playoff lives meet Tuesday night as the Florida Panthers (30-27-3, 14-13-0 away) visit the New Jersey Devils (29-29-2, 13-13-2 home) at Prudential Center. Oddsmakers can’t separate the two per the latest NHL odds, and it’s easy to see why. Both clubs are 3-7 over their last 10 games.
Puck drop is set for 7 pm ET on TNT. Here are my Panthers vs Devils prediction and picks, plus the latest odds.

My Panthers vs Devils prediction is on Florida at even money. The Panthers are 5-1 in the last six meetings in New Jersey, and the road team has won nine of the last 12 overall in this series. Florida also owns a 14-13-0 road record, which is far better than the Devils’ 13-13-2 mark at home.
New Jersey’s home struggles have gotten worse. The Devils have lost three straight and four of five at Prudential Center, and they’re 0-6 in their last six home games against teams with a winning road record. Florida qualifies.
Panthers vs Devils Key Stats
The Devils rank dead last in the NHL in goals per game at 2.47, while their shooting percentage (8.41%) is also 32nd. New Jersey simply can’t score. Florida isn’t playing great hockey either, but they’re averaging 3.02 goals per game and have the eighth-best penalty kill in the league.
The Panthers also take a ton of penalties (11.98 PIM per game, 30th), but New Jersey’s power play hasn’t been good enough to exploit that.
Sergei Bobrovsky is confirmed to start for Florida. He’s been wildly inconsistent — a .966 save percentage against Toronto followed by allowing five goals on 26 shots to the Islanders. But Jake Allen gets the nod for New Jersey over Jacob Markstrom, and Allen has lost four of his last five starts.
Panthers vs Devils Picks
- Dougie Hamilton Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (-135 at Bet365)
Hamilton leads all NHL defensemen in shots on goal (39) and shot attempts (79) over the last 10 games. He’s cleared 2.5 shots in nine straight and has gone over that mark in 20 of his last 22 games when logging at least two minutes of power-play ice time.
Florida has allowed the sixth-fewest shots against per game (26.10), but Hamilton’s volume has been matchup-proof lately.
- Over 5.5 Goals (-120 at FanDuel)

My second Panthers vs Devils pick is the over. Florida’s games have averaged 6.90 goals over their last 10 and hit the over in eight of those contests. The Panthers have also cleared 5.5 goals in eight of their last 10 road games. Bobrovsky’s inconsistency is a big reason why, but Florida’s offense is also generating 30.4 shots per game in that stretch.
Even with New Jersey’s lower-scoring tendencies at home (4.80 goals per game in their last 10 home games), the Panthers bring enough chaos to push this over.
