Jesper Bratt recorded assists in New Jersey’s wins over Los Angeles, Dallas and Vegas without putting a shot on goal in any of them. If you’re backing the Devils against St. Louis, that’s a reason to separate his passing from his shooting: an assist can fit a productive New Jersey night without requiring Bratt to finish the play.
These Devils parlay picks compare Bratt’s assists and Luke Evangelista’s shots in New Jersey wins with Robert Thomas’s scoring in Blues losses. That gives you two ways to ask for a Devils contribution and one way to limit St. Louis’s first-line center. They’re individual Side & Support options for a New Jersey-win view, with different demands and prices.
Devils parlay picks: passing, shots and a Blues scoring limit
The table covers completed regular-season appearances this season with each player’s current club. The samples include ten Devils wins for Bratt, eight for Evangelista and eight Blues losses for Thomas. Each all-game record uses the same player, dates and participation rules; losses include overtime defeats.

| Luke Evangelista Over 1.5 shots on goal |
−170 | 87.5% 7 of 8 NJ wins |

Jesper Bratt: Over 0.5 assists
Bratt added another assist in Tuesday’s 4–3 win over Edmonton, this time alongside four shots on goal. The quieter shooting nights against Los Angeles, Dallas and Vegas show why his assist over at −115 deserves a separate look from his point over at −185.
The point bet also allows a goal to do the job. So far this season, though, every game in which Bratt has recorded a point has included an assist. Paying the heavier price would have added no successful games to this particular sample; it buys a different route tonight, not a different historical record.
New Jersey has also won without a Bratt contribution. He went pointless in the 7–1 win over the Rangers and the 4–3 win over Colorado. The longer comparison is weaker still: since October 1, 2025, he has recorded an assist in 29 of 52 Devils wins and 45 of 97 appearances overall. The current-season passing pattern is interesting at the lighter price, but it hasn’t held at this level over that larger sample.
Luke Evangelista: Over 1.5 shots on goal
Evangelista reached three shots at Vegas and two against Edmonton after going without a shot in the loss at Colorado. He went without a point in both of those wins. For this option, getting the puck on net matters more than whether a chance turns into a goal or assist.
DraftKings offered the two-shot target at −170. His point over was −110, but that’s a different task: he has recorded a point in only five of his eight New Jersey wins, compared with seven games reaching two shots. The shot option costs more for a target he has met more often in those appearances.
The Dallas win supplies the exception. Evangelista recorded an assist but finished with one shot in 18:44 of ice time. His expected first-line role supports the opportunity to be involved, without guaranteeing the second shot. There are only 12 appearances in this current-club sample; extending the search back to October 1, 2025 adds no further New Jersey appearances, so there isn’t a larger Devils record behind the table.
Robert Thomas: Under 0.5 points
Thomas has finished without a point in the Blues’ last three losses, most recently Tuesday’s 3–1 defeat to the Rangers. He had two shots and played 22:05 that night. You’re asking for a blank scoresheet from an involved first-line center, rather than a reduced role.
The +120 point under gives a bigger payout than his assists-only under at −135, but a Thomas goal beats it too. The current-season losing-game records happen to match. His one scoring game in a Blues loss included both a goal and an assist in the 5–4 defeat at Minnesota, which would defeat either of today’s under targets.
He also had a goal and two assists against Boston before adding an assist at Detroit, both St. Louis wins. And the longer losing-game record is much less favorable to the under: Thomas went pointless in 20 of 40 Blues losses and 30 of 79 appearances since October 1, 2025. That larger sample makes seven of eight this season a recent pattern to weigh, not a reliable rule that a Devils win keeps him quiet.

Pick the kind of Devils win you expect
Bratt’s passing option is the lighter-priced way to ask for a New Jersey contribution. Evangelista’s shots cost more but let you avoid needing a scoring play. Thomas’s plus-money under takes a stronger view of St. Louis’s attack; his older record is a reason to leave it out if you expect him to contribute to the Blues’ scoring.
You can use an individual option without combining all three. The two Devils overs can benefit from the same attacking spells, and their separate records don’t supply a combined probability.
