New Jersey Devils vs Dallas Stars Picks and Predictions for Tuesday October 27 2026
Dallas just put six goals on the Islanders, and now New Jersey is coming to town. The Devils have been playing good hockey, but the Stars are getting the kind of offensive production that can turn a tight game into a two-goal lead in a hurry. This isn’t a matchup where I want to rely on one good period.
New Jersey visits American Airlines Center in Dallas on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at 8:00 PM ET. My targets, pending verified sportsbook prices, are Dallas moneyline -135 or better and Over 5.5 goals. Get in the action with our free NHL picks.
New Jersey Has Been Competitive
The Devils are 7-4-0, with 36 goals scored and 32 allowed. That’s 3.27 goals per game offensively and 2.91 against. New Jersey has enough scoring to challenge quality opponents, but its defensive results haven’t been consistently airtight.
The Devils need to protect the middle of the ice and avoid giving Dallas second chances. The Stars are capable of turning rebounds and broken coverage into quick goals.

New Jersey’s opportunity is speed. If the Devils can create turnovers and attack before Dallas gets organized, they can generate enough offense to make this competitive.
Dallas Is Getting Results at Both Ends
The Stars are 7-3-1 with 15 points. Sunday’s 6-3 victory over the Islanders was another reminder of how dangerous Dallas can be when its attack gets rolling.
Dallas has been scoring efficiently and has enough defensive structure to protect leads. The Stars don’t have to dominate every shift; they just need to create a few high-quality chances and make opponents chase.
The concern is New Jersey’s offensive speed. Dallas must avoid careless changes and odd-man rushes. But at home, the Stars should be able to dictate enough of the matchup to have an edge.
New Jersey Devils vs Dallas Stars Picks and Predictions
Dallas Stars Moneyline — Target -135 or Better
I’ll back Dallas at -135 or better. New Jersey is a legitimate opponent, and this shouldn’t be treated like an easy home win. But the Stars have the stronger recent scoring performance and the home-ice advantage. I trust Dallas to make the most of its chances. The Devils could absolutely steal it if they win the transition battle, but Dallas gets my vote.
Over 5.5 Goals — Target
I’m taking Over 5.5. New Jersey is scoring more than three per game, Dallas just put up six, and both teams have enough offense to produce multiple goals. The danger is a strong goaltending performance turning this into a 2-1 or 3-2 contest. Still, I see something like 4-3 Dallas.
Final Picks: Dallas moneyline (-135 or better) and Over 5.5 goals
