Expected score: New Jersey Devils 3-2 Anaheim Ducks
New Jersey DevilsDrawAnaheim Ducks
The New Jersey Devils host the Anaheim Ducks on October 22 in an NHL matchup between two teams sitting level on 8 points after seven games each. Both sides have shown inconsistency early in the season, with the Devils posting a 2-4 record and the Ducks at 3-3. This is a chance for either team to build momentum and climb out of the middle of the pack.
Team form
New Jersey Devils
New Jersey's last five games tell a story of extremes. They demolished the Rangers 7-1 at home but have struggled defensively elsewhere, losing 4-2 to Washington and 4-1 to Ottawa. The win over Vancouver (4-1) showed they can control games, yet they've conceded 3.0 goals per game on average across their recent stretch. Over five matches they've scored 17 and conceded 15, suggesting an attack with teeth but a defence that leaks chances.
Anaheim Ducks
Anaheim's form is similarly uneven. They've won their last two road games convincingly—beating Calgary 4-2 and Winnipeg 5-1—but at home they've lost three straight, including back-to-back defeats to Calgary (2-4) and Boston (2-4). The Ducks are averaging 3.0 goals for and 3.2 against over five games, indicating they score at a decent clip but struggle to keep opponents out. Their away record looks stronger than their home record, which could matter here.
Head-to-head
No head-to-head history is available between these teams this season, so there are no recent patterns to lean on. Both sides enter without the benefit of familiarity from earlier meetings.
Key factors
New Jersey's home-ice advantage is real—they've won two of three at the Rock recently and scored heavily in that 7-1 demolition of New York. Anaheim's road form is their bright spot, but they'll face a Devils team that can be dangerous when clicking offensively. The Ducks' defensive vulnerabilities (3.2 goals conceded per game) could be exposed by a Devils attack that has shown it can produce (3.4 goals per game). Conversely, New Jersey's own leaky defence gives Anaheim's opportunistic road game a chance to strike. Both teams are prone to giving up chances, so this looks like a game where offence could flow.
Prediction
The Devils are the favourite here, backed by home ice and slightly better offensive form over their last five. Anaheim's recent away wins show they can travel well, but New Jersey's ability to score at volume—particularly at home—gives them the edge. The model leans toward a Devils victory, though it's far from a runaway. Both teams have shown they can put the puck in the net, and both have defensive lapses, suggesting a competitive game where goals could come regularly.
New Jersey are the more likely winner, but this is a fairly tight contest. Expect an open game with chances at both ends. The Devils' home form and offensive output make them favourites, yet Anaheim's road strength means they're well-placed to keep it close and potentially steal a result. A competitive matchup where either team could emerge with the win.
