Our first-period pick
At Prudential Center, our pick is Period 1: Both Teams To Score - No 1.42. Edmonton’s last two road games brought just one goal conceded across six periods. That makes a scoreless opening for at least one side a credible scenario, without requiring a low-scoring game overall.
Zach Hyman’s absence removes an attacking option for Edmonton, while Mattias Ekholm’s injury weakens their defensive cover. Those losses pull in opposite directions: the Devils could strike first, but an early exchange is not inevitable. New Jersey conceded only twice across the two home games listed. No period-by-period results or confirmed starting goalies are available, so the full-game defensive returns support a cautious lean rather than a strong claim. A plausible first-period score is 1-0.
Final verdict
Period 1: Both Teams To Score - No 1.42 is the selection: the bet needs only one attack to remain scoreless through the opening 20 minutes. Edmonton’s recent defensive recovery is the clearest support, with the missing first-period splits limiting confidence.
