Vegas Golden Knights – New Jersey Devils

Recent form

NHL regular-season game between the Vegas Golden Knights and the New Jersey Devils at T-Mobile Arena on October 30, 2026. Vegas defeated Ottawa 4-1 on October 27, with Adin Hill making 25 saves on 26 shots; Eichel had 20 points at that point, and Marner was coming off eight games with at least one point.

New Jersey had defeated Dallas 5-1 on October 28, with Hellebuyck making 17 saves, before traveling to Colorado on October 29 and then to Vegas on October 30. The comparative quality of the opponents, shots, and special teams are not sufficiently documented.

Head-to-head

No recent matchup between the two teams is documented with a date and score in the selected materials. The head-to-head history therefore does not allow an adjustment to the prédictive analysis.

Absences and injuries

Seamus Casey is expected to miss 8 to 10 weeks after knee surgery, according to the Devils' October 2 report, with no confirmation of a return. Carter Hart was injured in practice on October 27, did not play against Ottawa, and was still being evaluated in the NHL report dated October 29.

The other last-minute absences remain unknown.

Context & news

The favorable scenario for Vegas rests on home-ice advantage, rest since October 27, a 9-4-1 record, and the offensive continuity of Eichel and Marner. The favorable scenario for New Jersey rests on its 5-1 win against Dallas, its offensive momentum, and the possibility that Hellebuyck starts.

The major counterweight is the Colorado-Vegas schedule in two days, whose result and workload on October 29 cannot be verified; for Vegas, uncertainty surrounding Hart and the goaltenders may also alter the balance.

Roster and lineup

The final lineups and starting goaltenders are not confirmed. Hellebuyck is expected for New Jersey, but this expectation published on October 28 does not constitute confirmation. Vegas's goaltender remains unknown.
