Bet of the Day - 05.12.2025

The New Jersey Devils welcome the Vegas Golden Knights to the Prudential Center for an East-West matchup. Both teams are sitting fifth in their conferences, but their recent form trends paint a very different picture. Take a look at our Bet of the Day.

New Jersey remain strong at home with a 9-4 record, but they've struggled for consistency overall, going just 3-6 in their last nine. December hasn't started kindly either, as the Devils have lost four of their last five. Their most recent outing was a 3-0 home defeat to the Dallas Stars.

Vegas arrive with mixed numbers of their own. They've had a four-game losing streak before winning their last two games. However, their recent outing against the Chicago Blackhawks was far from straightforward. The game stretched into overtime and eventually a shootout, where Vegas narrowly edged out a 4-3 victory.

Historically, the Knights have dominated in these matchups, winning four of their last five against New Jersey. However, trends against Eastern Conference teams haven't been encouraging, with Vegas dropping five of their last six in that category. The Devils badly need to respond, and the home ice could help them come out victorious. We predict the New Jersey Devils to win at 2.00.
