The 2025-26 NHL season has brought plenty of drama, and tonight’s Eastern Conference clash is no exception. On Wednesday, March 4, 2026, the Toronto Maple Leafs travel to the Prudential Center in Newark to take on the New Jersey Devils. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 PM ET. Here is everything you need to know about watching the game, current team stats, and my personal betting predictions.
How to Watch the Toronto Maple Leafs at New Jersey Devils Game
Whether you are tuning in from the United States or Canada, there are plenty of options to catch the live action tonight.
TV and Streaming Options:
- In the USA: The game will be broadcast nationally and available to stream exclusively on ESPN+ and Hulu.
- In Canada: Fans can watch the game nationally on Sportsnet (SN). For French-language coverage, the game will be broadcast on TVA Sports (TVAS).
Regional Blackouts Explained
If you are streaming the game, you may run into NHL regional blackouts. Blackouts exist to protect the local television broadcasters that purchase exclusive rights to air games in a team’s local market. If you live in the local broadcast territory for the New Jersey Devils (typically covered by MSG Networks) or within the Toronto Maple Leafs’ designated viewing region, the national stream on platforms like ESPN+ might be blacked out for you. In these cases, you will need to tune into your regional sports network or local cable provider to watch the game live.
2025-26 Season Team Records & Last Game Results
As we hit the final stretch of the 2025-26 NHL season, both teams are fighting hard for every point in a tight Eastern Conference playoff race.
The Toronto Maple Leafs enter tonight’s matchup with a 27-24-10 record, giving them 64 points and placing them 7th in the Atlantic Division. They are looking to get back in the win column after a grueling 3-2 shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday.
The New Jersey Devils currently hold a 30-29-2 record (62 points), sitting 7th in the Metropolitan Division. They have built a bit of momentum recently, coming off a solid stretch of hockey, which included a key 3-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues and a big win over the defending champion Florida Panthers.
Leading Scorers & Key Injuries
Both teams have relied heavily on their star players to generate offense this season:
- Toronto Maple Leafs: William Nylander leads the charge with an impressive 55 points (19 goals, 36 assists), closely followed by captain Auston Matthews with 51 points (26 goals, 25 assists).
- New Jersey Devils: Captain Nico Hischier leads the Devils in goals (20) and is tied for the team lead in points (43) alongside elite playmaker Jesper Bratt, who boasts 13 goals and 30 assists.
Injury Report: Injuries are taking a toll on both sides. The Maple Leafs are currently missing goaltender Anthony Stolarz (nerve issue) and defenseman Chris Tanev (groin). On the other side, the Devils are playing without gritty forward Stefan Noesen, who remains on injured reserve with a knee injury, and Zack MacEwen, who is out for the season with a torn ACL.
Betting Odds & My Personal Game Score Prediction
The betting lines currently have the New Jersey Devils as home favorites at -122 on the moneyline, with the over/under goal total set at 5.5.
Looking at this matchup, I have to give the edge to the home team. In my personal opinion, the Maple Leafs have struggled immensely to close out tight games on the road recently, and the frustrating shootout loss to Philly earlier this week exposed some of their ongoing defensive vulnerabilities without Chris Tanev. The Devils, on the other hand, have looked more structured in front of Jacob Markstrom lately. I think New Jersey’s speed down the middle, led by Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier, is going to overwhelm Toronto’s blue line. I’m predicting the Devils to win this one 4-2, easily covering the spread and cashing the over 5.5 goals in an empty-net scenario.
