Game Preview
Action in the Eastern Conference heats up on Thursday evening, as the Atlantic Division leading Tampa Bay Lightning bid to extend their advantage at the summit. Tampa Bay come into this round of games in excellent recent form, winning 17 of their 30 games in 2025, and claiming victories in six of their last ten.
A lot of their success has been built on their reliable defensive record, allowing a division-low of just 76 goals. Their confidence levels should be high following an excellent win on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens. Darren Raddysh scored twice in the 6-1 road success.
The New Jersey Devils will have the home ice advantage on Thursday, as they bid to record a second straight win in the NHL. They have gone 17-12-1 in the NHL this season, and have won four of their last ten. However, it would be a concern that they have suffered six regulation time defeats over the same period.
But, confidence would have been gained following their latest outing after landing a 4-3 win on the road against the Ottawa Senators. Arseni Gritsyuk was the standout performer in that success, scoring once and registering two assists.
Lightning vs. Devils Picks
The Prudential Center has been a happy hunting ground for the Devils this season, going 9-4-1 in their home games. That trend could be a crucial factor worth following when making Lightning vs. Devils picks on Thursday.
