Tampa Bay at New Jersey

December 11, 2025

7:00 PM Eastern

Tampa Bay's offense is 12th in goals scored (3.13 per game) and 11th in shooting percentage. They come off a 6-1 win at Montreal. They face a New Jersey defense that is 24th in penalty killing, 18th in goals allowed (3.07 per game), and 17th in save percentage. This is a difficult situational spot for Tampa Bay, playing its third straight on the road. They've lost four of the last five, all as favorites. This will also be their sixth road game in the previous eight contests. The Devils come home after a 4-3 win at Ottawa. The defense has allowed 23 goals over the last six contests. New Jersey's offense ranks ninth on the power play, and seven of the previous 10 meetings between these teams have been decided by scores of 4-3, 5-2, 4-3, 6-3, 8-5, 5-2, and 5-1. New Jersey is 9-4-1 at home, so back home ice in a high-scoring battle. Take New Jersey + OVER the total.

Game of the Month

This is a revenge spot for New Jersey, which was embarrassed in the first meeting this season when the Lightning won 8-5 on Oct. 22, including lighting it up with five goals in the second period. Jake Allen allowed all eight goals, but tonight Jacob Markstrom is expected to be in net for the Devils and he is 8-4-1 with a 2.54 goals-against average. New Jersey has won his past three starts, including 4-1 over Florida on Tuesday when stopped 34 of 35 shots. The Devils have won five of their past six games and four of five on the road. Tampa Bay has lost four of five and the Lightning are 5-10 their past 15 games against Eastern Conference teams. Tampa Bay is in a letdown situation following a huge win over Winnipeg when Andrei Vasilevskiy got his 300th NHL victory. Tampa Bay has lost four straight playing on one day of rest and it is 1-9 against teams that allowed two or fewer goals their previous game. New Jersey had three power-play goals and a short-handed empty-netter in its 6-2 win over Florida on Thursday. Take the Devils as my Game of the Month.
