The New York Rangers visit the New Jersey Devils on Thursday, October 15, 2026. The Rangers come in with a strong 6-2 record, while the Devils sit at an even 3-3. This suggests New York has been more consistent so far this season.
Looking at the betting odds, New Jersey is favored at home with a moneyline of -142, meaning you’d need to bet $142 to win $100 on the Devils outright. The Rangers are the underdogs at +120, so a $100 bet would win you $120 if they pull off the upset.
The spread is set at 1.5 goals. The Rangers are -1.5 at -218, which means they need to win by at least two goals for a bet on them to pay off. The Devils are +1.5 at +180, so they can lose by one goal or win outright for those bets to cash.
The total is 6.5 goals with the over at +114 and the under at -135. The under is the favorite here, so the market expects a game with fewer than seven goals.
In summary, the market views New Jersey as the safer bet to win straight up, but New York’s strong record and the spread odds suggest they have a solid chance to win by two or more. If you like a tighter game, the under 6.5 goals looks like the favored play. Choose based on your risk preference—either a Devils moneyline or Rangers on the spread, and consider the under for scoring.
