ChatGPT prediction for Pittsburgh Penguins vs New Jersey Devils, 09 January 2026.

Place a $1 moneyline bet on the Pittsburgh Penguins at 1.93.
Pittsburgh plays at PPG Paints Arena with a 20-12-9 record and a stronger recent run (6-4-0) versus New Jersey's 4-5-1. Key contributors like Bryan Rust and Erik Karlsson (28 assists) give the Penguins depth and play-driving ability. New Jersey is nearly even on the board at 1.95 and did win the first meeting in a shootout, but home-ice and steadier form tilt the edge to Pittsburgh. The draw is long at 4.10, offering poor EV here. This is a small, value-minded play on Pittsburgh.
Gemini tip

4.10

Gemini prediction for Pittsburgh Penguins vs New Jersey Devils, 09 January 2026.

This upcoming NHL clash between the Pittsburgh Penguins and New Jersey Devils at PPG Paints Arena promises to be a tight affair. The Penguins arrive with a solid 20-12-9 record and a strong 6-4-0 run in their last ten, buoyed by key performers like Erik Karlsson and Bryan Rust. They hold the home-ice advantage, which is often crucial in these matchups.

However, the Devils, despite their 4-5-1 recent stretch, previously bested Pittsburgh in a 2-1 shootout, demonstrating their ability to compete. Jesper Bratt remains a formidable offensive threat for New Jersey. The bookmakers reflect this expected parity with incredibly tight odds: Pittsburgh at 1.93 and New Jersey at 1.95. Given the history of a shootout between these two and the near-even betting lines, a draw at the end of regulation, priced at 4.10, presents significant value. Expect a hard-fought battle that could easily extend beyond 60 minutes.

Claude prediction for Pittsburgh Penguins vs New Jersey Devils, 09 January 2026.

The Penguins enter this matchup with momentum, boasting a solid 20-12-9 record and going 6-4-0 in their last 10 games. Pittsburgh's home-ice advantage at PPG Paints Arena should prove significant against a Devils squad that's struggled recently (4-5-1 in their last 10).

Erik Karlsson's playmaking ability with 28 assists has been driving the Penguins' offense, while Bryan Rust continues to be a reliable scoring threat. The Devils, led by Jesper Bratt's 34 points (9 goals, 25 assists), have offensive firepower but haven't found consistency lately.

Though New Jersey took the first meeting 2-1 in a shootout, Pittsburgh at 1.93 offers slightly better value than the Devils at 1.95. The Penguins' improved form and home advantage should be enough to edge out a victory in what promises to be another tight contest between these Eastern Conference rivals.
Grok tip
Pittsburgh Penguins win
1.99

Grok prediction for Pittsburgh Penguins vs New Jersey Devils, 09 January 2026.

The Pittsburgh Penguins host the New Jersey Devils in a crucial Metropolitan Division clash at PPG Paints Arena. Pittsburgh rides a wave of momentum with a 20-12-9 record and a solid 6-4-0 mark over their last 10 games, showcasing offensive firepower led by Erik Karlsson's 28 assists and Bryan Rust's scoring touch. Meanwhile, the Devils sit at 22-19-2, but their recent 4-5-1 stretch hints at inconsistency, even with Jesper Bratt's impressive 9 goals and 25 assists.

Head-to-head, New Jersey snagged a narrow 2-1 shootout win in their first meeting, but Pittsburgh's home-ice advantage and no reported injuries on either side tilt the scales. The odds reflect a razor-thin contest: Penguins at 1.93, Devils at 1.95, and a juicy 4.10 for draw after regulation. For a $1 bet, I'm eyeing value in Pittsburgh's resilience to grind out a victory, potentially covering in overtime if needed. This matchup screams low-scoring intensity—expect Penguins to edge it in a thriller.

DeepSeek prediction for Pittsburgh Penguins vs New Jersey Devils, 09 January 2026.

The Pittsburgh Penguins welcome the New Jersey Devils to PPG Paints Arena in a tight NHL clash. Pittsburgh boasts a 20-12-9 record and a strong 6-4-0 run in their last 10 games, fueled by Erik Karlsson's playmaking and Bryan Rust's scoring.

New Jersey has faltered with a 4-5-1 recent stretch, though Jesper Bratt's 9 goals and 25 assists offer hope. Their shootout win in the first meeting shows resilience, but the Penguins' home ice and form tilt the scales.

With odds at 1.93 for Pittsburgh and 1.95 for New Jersey, it's a coin flip, but the value lies with the hosts to capitalize on their momentum.

Pittsburgh Penguins win

Qwen prediction for Pittsburgh Penguins vs New Jersey Devils, 09 January 2026.

The Pittsburgh Penguins enter this matchup with a solid 20-12-9 record, showing consistent form over their last 10 games (6-4-0). They’ll have home ice advantage at PPG Paints Arena, where they’ve historically performed well. Led by key contributors like Erik Karlsson, who has 28 assists this season, and Bryan Rust, the Penguins have the offensive firepower to pressure any opponent. On the other side, the New Jersey Devils are slightly above .500 at 22-19-2 but come in with a weaker recent record of 4-5-1. While Jesper Bratt has been productive with 9 goals and 25 assists, the Devils lack the same depth and consistency as their rivals.

Bookmakers have set tight odds for this game: 1.93 for Pittsburgh and 1.95 for New Jersey, reflecting how evenly matched these teams appear on paper. However, the Penguins’ superior recent form and home-ice edge give them a slight upper hand. The odds suggest a close contest, but I see value in backing Pittsburgh given their sharper play and leadership. A draw is less likely here, especially considering the fast-paced nature of NHL games and both teams' tendencies to push for a decisive result late in the game.

With all factors considered, the Penguins look poised to capitalize on their momentum and secure a narrow victory.
