Ottawa vs New Jersey Prediction 10 December 2025
🔊 The Canadian team Ottawa will host New Jersey on their ice as part of the NHL's regular season action. The hosts are having a disastrous start to winter, rapidly sliding down the standings. Meanwhile, the visitors are in a full-blown slump, unable to break out of their two-week-long crisis. This matchup features two teams, each of which had higher expectations for themselves.
Head-to-Head
In 2025, the opponents faced off three times, including once in a friendly match. The current hosts dominated this period with a clean sweep of victories, 3-0. It's worth noting that none of the encounters went beyond regulation time and the games were low-scoring affairs. Over 180 minutes, they managed to score only 10 goals combined.
Head-to-head statistics Ottawa - New Jersey
Ottawa Senators Team Overview
Travis Green's squad maintained a spot among the leaders for quite some time, but it turns out they were operating at the edge of their capabilities. As winter set in, their form took a sharp downturn. In their last seven games, the Canadian club suffered five defeats, which predictably saw them not only fall out of the Eastern Conference playoff spots but also teeter on the brink of the conference's bottom position. A key factor in their struggles has been a lack of scoring efficiency, with the team averaging just 3 goals per game.
Match Results: Ottawa Senators
New Jersey Devils Team Overview
After a promising start to the regular season, the visitors have plunged into a full-blown crisis. In their last 10 games, Sheldon Keefe's side have suffered seven defeats, including four consecutive losses since the onset of winter. Moreover, they have been shut out twice in this stretch. It's no surprise that under such circumstances, the team has fallen out of the Eastern Conference playoff spots. Neither their offensive output (averaging 2.83 goals per game) nor their defensive play (conceding 3.07 goals) is particularly impressive, and New Jersey risk slipping even further down the standings.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Ottawa: Ullmark - Zub, Sanderson - Zetterlund, Stützle, Tkachuk
New Jersey: Allen - Siegenthaler, Hamilton - Meier, Hischier, Nosek
🥅 Goaltenders
Ottawa's goaltender Linus Ullmark is having a rough season. The Swede has managed to avoid his usual injuries, but his effectiveness has declined. He is saving just 87.7% of shots on average, which is far from an impressive stat.
New Jersey's goalie Jake Allen is seeing more ice time again, but his performance has shown signs of regression. The Canadian is averaging a 90.8% save rate and has made several costly mistakes.
Editorial Prediction
The hosts are struggling with consistency and are going through a rough patch. However, their situation pales in comparison to the crisis the visitors are facing. Sheldon Keefe's side are in dire straits and can't seem to turn things around. New Jersey have suffered five consecutive regulation losses. In our view, this trend will continue-right now, the visitors aren't ready to start their recovery. Our bet is on an Ottawa win in regulation time.No comments
