Analysis

Detroit Red Wings face New Jersey Devils in the NHL on 13 October 2026. On the match winner market, overtime and shootout included, New Jersey Devils are the narrow favourite at 1.85, with Detroit Red Wings at 1.95. Removing the bookmaker margin gives an implied chance of 51.3% for New Jersey Devils and 48.7% for Detroit Red Wings.

We have no head-to-head record for these teams in our data. In recent results, New Jersey Devils won 2 and lost 2 of their last 4, including a win over Vancouver Canucks on 10 October 2026. Detroit Red Wings won 1 and lost 4 of their last 5, the latest a loss to Montreal Canadiens on 10 October 2026.

Our call is New Jersey Devils to win, with a confidence of 53%. They are the market favourite in the market, and the recent-result record leans their way, moving the market chance of 51.3% up 2.1 points. This is close to an even contest, and line-ups, injuries and starting goaltenders are not available to us, so the main risk is large.
