The New Jersey Devils, with a record of 12-6-2, are set to face the Tampa Bay Lightning, who stand at 8-6-1, on Saturday, November 16, 2024, at Amalie Arena. This matchup follows the Devils’ impressive sweep of the Florida Panthers in a back-to-back series, where they won 4-1 and 6-2, respectively[2][4].

The Devils enter this game with a strong road record, boasting an 8-3-0 mark away from home, which is the second-best in the NHL behind the Minnesota Wild. Key players for the Devils include Jesper Bratt with 24 points (8 goals, 16 assists), Jack Hughes with 22 points (8 goals, 14 assists), and Nico Hischier with 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists). Goalie Jacob Markstrom has been solid, going 8-4-1 with a 2.54 GAA and a .908 save percentage[3][4].

The Tampa Bay Lightning, coming off a 4-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets, will look to build on that momentum. Nikita Kucherov leads the Lightning with 24 points (11 goals, 13 assists), while Andrei Vasilevskiy has a 7-5-1 record with a 2.32 GAA and a .913 save percentage. The Lightning have a strong home record, standing at 5-1-1 at Amalie Arena this season[3][4].

The projected lineups for the Devils include forwards Timo Meier, Nico Hischier, and Stefan Noesen on the first line, and defensemen Brenden Dillon and Dougie Hamilton on the top pairing. For the Lightning, the first line features Brandon Hagel, Anthony Cirelli, and Nikita Kucherov, with Victor Hedman and J.J. Moser on the top defensive pairing[2][4].[6].

Betting insights suggest that the Devils have won each of their last seven night games against the Lightning following a road win, while the Lightning have lost four of their last five games. The road team has covered the puck line in nine of the last 10 games between these teams. However, the Lightning have historically played well at home and are coming off a significant win over the Jets[3][5][6].
