Devils vs. Golden Knights Pick
The emergence of Connor Hellebuyck as a New Jersey Devil has certainly shifted things in the Tri-State area.
The two-time Vezina Trophy winner and former MVP was traded to the Devils last week, and in his first game back, ice-cold, stuffed the Dallas Stars by allowing just one goal on one shot allowed.
Admittedly, I was curious how Hellebuyck's return would be. He's coming off his worst statistical season in 2025-26, and I didn't know if it was age or if the team in front of him wasn't helping.
Turns out it was the latter. Because before the loss to the Avalanche the day after, the Devils were in the midst of winning six out of their last seven.
Conversely, the Vegas Golden Knights have had an opposite kind of start to their season. After starting 7-2, the Knights ended up losing three in a row, before getting off the skid with a 4-1 win against the Senators.
There was some concern that goaltender Carter Hart was going to be out for a little bit after suffering a lower body injury, but he was on ice for practice yesterday, and it seems as if coach Ryan Craig is dodging questions on whether or not he'll be available tonight.
Whether it's him or Adin Hill, my model suggests that this is still New Jersey's game to win.
Best Bet: Devils Moneyline (-110, FanDuel)
