Kings vs. Devils prediction, odds and best bet for Oct. 24, 2026

The New Jersey Devils are favored to beat the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, according to Dimers' NHL pregame model.

Our Kings vs. Devils prediction gives New Jersey a 58.6% chance of winning at Prudential Center, while the latest odds suggest the best betting value lies in over 5.5 goals.

Kings vs. Devils: Key predictions

• Devils win probability: 58.6%
• Kings win probability: 41.4%
• Kings +1.5 puck line: 63.8% cover probability
• Over 5.5 goals: 52.0% probability

Dimers' NHL pregame model estimates how many goals each team is likely to score, accounting for factors such as recent form, shooting and save percentages, home-ice advantage, and rest.

These projections power our NHL predictions, which show the probability of each team winning, covering the puck line, and the total goals going over or under the betting line.

Best value bet: Over 5.5 (+110)

That's a 4.4% edge on the over, the largest across the moneyline, puck line, and total goals markets based on Dimers' probabilities and the best available odds.
