The 2025/26 NHL season has already delivered some surprises in its first matchdays, and one of the most shocking was the Philadelphia Flyers’ victory over the Florida Panthers. With that in mind, the Panthers aren’t expected to have an easy time during their upcoming road game against the New Jersey Devils, as it will be their third road game in less than a week.
However, the Florida Panthers cannot be underestimated, as they have one of the deepest rosters in the NHL, it being worth noting that seven players have averaged two or more shots on goal per game. Those stats become concerning for their rivals when names like Brad Marchand, Sam Bennett, Sam Reinhart, and Anton Lundell appear on the list, as all of them are well-known for their offensive skills.
Meanwhile, the New Jersey Devils won their last two games in a row, games in which Dawson Mercer and Connor Brown were able to earn two points. Nonetheless, two of the most relevant Devils’ players were Dougie Hamilton and Timo Meier, as both have taken more than 2 shots on goal per game since the beginning of the season. Despite that, the Devils haven’t found a defensive leader yet, as only Ethan Edwards was able to block more than 2 shots per game, but he only played during the preseason.

Our New Jersey Devils vs Florida Panthers Prediction
For this game, both teams are expected to leave everything on the ice, as both will have one day to travel and rest after this game. However, the New Jersey Devils are expected to take the offensive initiative to try to take advantage of the Panthers’ possible exhaustion after playing against the Detroit Red Wings less than 24 hours before kickoff of this matchup.
In summary, even though the Florida Panthers aren’t favorites to win this game according to the bookmakers’ odds, the reality is that they cannot afford to lose many games when there are teams like the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens at the top of the Atlantic Division standings. Therefore, the pick for the Florida Panthers – New Jersey Devils is: Over 5.5 Goals!
