Luke Evangelista put three shots on net in Friday’s win over Vegas without getting a point. Jack Hughes scored twice. Both helped New Jersey, and each gives you a different way to back a Devils win over Edmonton.
Evangelista needs two shots, while a goal or an assist gets Hughes there. These Devils parlay picks compare what you pay for each contribution. DraftKings listed New Jersey at −155 Tuesday morning. Prices can change.
Two ways to back New Jersey’s forwards
Both markets use the player’s full available New Jersey history across this season and last. Evangelista has only 11 Devils appearances in that window. That gives you a shorter record to weigh against the lower price.
| Player & prop | Odds | With this result | All games |
|---|---|---|---|
| Luke Evangelista Over 1.5 shots on goal All 11 New Jersey appearances |
−170 | 85.7% (6/7) Devils wins |
72.7% (8/11) |
| Jack Hughes 1+ point 2025–26 and 2026–27 New Jersey appearances |
−265 | 81.4% (35/43) Devils wins |
69.3% (52/75) |
Luke Evangelista over 1.5 shots on goal (−170)
Evangelista reached two shots in six of seven Devils wins and eight of 11 games overall. He’s projected on a line with Nico Hischier and Timo Meier. Friday’s three shots in 18:40 against Vegas show why this market can work even if he doesn’t get on the scoresheet.
His only miss in a Devils win came against Dallas. He had an assist in 18:44, but put only one shot on net. He followed that with no shots in the next game, a loss to Colorado, before the three-shot game against Vegas.
At −170, Evangelista gives you the less expensive option. You’re backing him to take a couple of chances himself. His one-shot game against Dallas shows that even a game with an assist can leave him short on shots.
Jack Hughes 1+ point (−265)
Hughes recorded a point in 35 of 43 Devils wins and 52 of 75 appearances overall. He has a point in eight of nine winning appearances this season and 10 of 14 overall. Either a goal or an assist counts, which gives the projected center more than one route to the target.
He scored twice against Vegas on Friday, and he had a goal and an assist in the win over Dallas. His one scoreless winning appearance this season came against Colorado on October 20. He put three shots on net in that game and still finished without a point.
At −265, you’re paying more for a target Hughes can reach through either scoring or setting up a teammate. The October win over Colorado is a reminder that even three shots and a Devils win can leave him without a point.
Choose between shot volume and a scoring contribution
If you expect Evangelista to get looks of his own, his shots offer a lower price. If your Devils-win case runs through Hughes creating a goal, his point prop fits that view more directly. Both can benefit from New Jersey creating chances, so weigh each price individually.
