The New Jersey Devils (25-41-6) head west to face the Arizona Coyotes (22-45-5) Tuesday at Gila River Arena. Puck drop is set for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we look at the Devils vs. Coyotes odds and lines, and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

The Devils outshined the Dallas Stars last time out with a 3-1 win on the road Saturday. They’re playing short-handed without their phenom C Jack Hughes, who was lost for the season last week with a knee injury. New Jersey is just 3-6-1 in its last 10 games.

Arizona is in a similar situation as they lost 23-year-old RW Clayton Keller in late March to a broken leg. The Coyotes have won just two of their last 10 contests and have been outscored 16-3 in the last three games.

Devils at Coyotes projected goalies

Nico Daws (9-11-0, 3.19 GAA, .893 SV%) vs. Karel Vejmelka (12-28-2, 3.47 GAA, .903 SV%, 1 SO)

Daws has been better in April with a 1-2 record, 2.78 GAA and .889 SV%. He has held teams to 3 or fewer goals in two straight starts, which came against playoff teams in the Dallas Stars and New York Rangers.

Vejmelka was pummeled for 6 goals on 39 shots at the Vegas Golden Knights Saturday. He was pulled after allowing 3 goals on 9 shots to the lowly Anaheim Ducks two games prior.

Money line

The Devils are 4-0 in their last four games with 2 days’ rest. They should win this one handily. Does that mean I’m willing to take them at -155? Not really. I’d rather look to the puck line and hope they can put in an empty-netter. PASS.

Against the spread

The DEVILS -1.5 (+155) don’t win often, but six of their last nine wins have been by 2 or more goals. Keeping that in mind, the key stat we previously touched on is Arizona has been outscored 16-3 in the last three games. Back the DEVILS -1.5 (+155).

Over/Under

This one can go either way as you’re essentially betting on two sub-par goalies to be better than average. Arizona games have had at least 5 goals in nine of its last 10 outings, but it has gone over 6.5 just three times during that stretch. Jersey games have gone over 6.5 in six games of its last 10 games. The Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings with these two and 4-1-2 in the last seven meetings in Arizona.

Let’s LEAN UNDER 6.5 (-115).
