How our call settled

Our pick, New Jersey Devils to win at locked odds 1.735, lost. It was published with 52% confidence, leaving a 48% chance for Ottawa Senators to win, the outcome that came in.

Before the start the best price on New Jersey Devils to win had drifted from 1.735 to 1.85, so the market moved away from this pick after it was published.

Analysis

New Jersey Devils meet Ottawa Senators in the NHL on 12 October 2026. In the market on the match winner, overtime and shootout included, New Jersey Devils are the favourite at 1.735 and Ottawa Senators are priced at 2.10. The implied chances are 54.8% for New Jersey Devils and 45.2% for Ottawa Senators once the margin is removed.

There is nothing in our data on past meetings between the clubs, so no head-to-head record can be quoted. Ottawa Senators won 3 and lost 1 of 4 recent games, beating the Philadelphia Flyers on 8 October 2026. New Jersey Devils won 1 and lost 2 of 3, the latest a defeat to Utah Mammoth on 6 October 2026.

Our call is New Jersey Devils to win, with a confidence of 52%. They remain the market favourite, but the recent results lean to Ottawa Senators and moved the market chance of 54.8% down by 2.7 points. The short samples are one caveat, and line-ups and goaltenders are not available, which makes this a close call.
