New Jersey vs Vancouver Prediction 24 March 2025
🔊 Who will get back on the winning track first? New Jersey are holding onto the sixth spot in the East, but the standings are becoming increasingly tight. The home team are consistently dropping points, and their previous cushion is no longer there. Vancouver are pulling off a similar feat in the West. The Canucks have already lost their grip on the eighth spot in the conference, and it seems like their slide might not be over yet.
Head-to-Head
In the current regular season, these teams have already faced off once. At the end of October, the "Devils" steamrolled their opponents on their home ice in British Columbia with a commanding 6-0 victory. The hosts scored their first goal within the opening minute. Forward Nico Hischier played a pivotal role in his team's success, netting that initial goal and providing two assists. The Swiss player remains in top form, having registered points in six consecutive games.
Head-to-head statistics New Jersey - Vancouver
New Jersey Devils Team Overview
Sheldon Keefe's squad seems to be struggling to keep up in the playoff race. The Devils have suffered three defeats in their last four games, significantly complicating their standings. In their most recent outing, they fell to a direct competitor, Ottawa, with a score of 2-3. The club still holds the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference standings, but if this trend continues, they might miss out on the chance to compete for the Stanley Cup. The loss of several key players due to injuries-Dougie Hamilton, Jack Hughes, and Ondřej Palat-could prove to be decisive in this situation.

Vancouver Canucks Team Overview
The "Orcas" are sinking. Rick Tocchet's squad is facing setbacks at a crucial point in the regular season. Their road trip has been a struggle, starting with an overtime loss to direct rivals St. Louis (3-4 OT), followed by a defeat against the Rangers (3-5). With three more games against Eastern Conference teams ahead, their playoff hopes are dwindling. They trail the coveted eighth spot in the West by three points, and even with a game in hand over the Blues, it seems unlikely to make a decisive push.

📌 Projected Lineups
New Jersey: Allen - Hughes, Pesce - Meier, Hischier, Nosek
Vancouver: Lankinen - Hughes, Myers - Hoglander, Pettersson, Boeser
🥅 Goalkeepers
New Jersey's goaltender Jake Allen, after a series of impressive performances, faltered under pressure from the Senators (84.2%). The Devils are currently in dire need of stability and composure in goal, but neither Markstrom nor Allen can provide that right now.
Vancouver's netminder Kevin Lankinen let his team down at a crucial moment. The Finnish goalie has delivered two consecutive poor outings. First, he struggled against the Blues (86.2%), and then he completely crumbled against the Rangers (63.6%).
Editorial Prediction
Over the past few years, head-to-head encounters between these teams have been rather one-sided. Regardless of their standings or the objectives they pursue, the Canucks have faced obvious challenges. In 16 of their last 18 meetings, Vancouver failed to secure a win in regulation time. Moreover, in the current regular season, Rick Tocchet's squad has not won any of their last 10 away games. We believe both trends will continue to hold true. Our recommendation is to bet on New Jersey not to lose.
