The New Jersey Devils (41-36-3, 85 points) will close their 2025-26 home slate against the Ottawa Senators (43-27-10, 96 points) on Sunday night at Prudential Center.
The Senators will be making their first trip to Newark a day after clinching a Stanley Cup Playoff berth with a 3-0 win over the New York Islanders at UBS Arena. Ottawa has won four straight games and currently sits in the No. 1 Eastern Conference wild-card spot due to the regulation-wins tiebreaker against the Boston Bruins.
The Devils won in Detroit on Saturday afternoon, eliminating the Red Wings from playoff contention. New Jersey is 7-4-1 in its past 12 home games but has dropped two straight at Prudential Center.
