The New Jersey Devils will face the Ottawa Senators in a preseason matchup on Sunday, September 28, 2025 at 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT.
Because this game is being hosted as part of Ottawa’s preseason schedule in Quebec City, it carries interesting broadcast implications.
How to watch in the USA
In the U.S., most preseason NHL games are carried by regional sports networks (RSNs) or via league apps where allowed.
For this Devils vs Senators match, fans in the Devils viewing region may be able to stream via the Devils website/app (NJD.TV), for those in-market.
Out-of-market U.S. viewers may check ESPN+ (as some preseason games are listed there), or see if the game is picked up by NHL Network or a local RSN (depending on your location).
How to watch in Canada
In Canada, the game is listed to air on TVAS2 (TVA Sports 2) for the Ottawa‐region broadcast.
That means French‐language coverage via TVA Sports is likely the main Canadian option. English Canadian viewers should check TSN or Sportsnet to see if they carry it regionally, but TVA appears to be the lead.

Historically the Devils have held an edge over Ottawa in their matchups. In their last 10 meetings, New Jersey is 6-3-1 vs the Senators.
Betting Odds & Prediction
Bookmakers list Ottawa –1.5 and Over/Under = 5.5 goals.
Given that betting line, Ottawa is favored to win by at least two goals. I expect a somewhat tight game, with both teams experimenting with lines, so offense may be inconsistent. But given the edge at home (in Canadian preseason location) and the favorite tag, I’d predict:
Final prediction: Ottawa Senators 3, New Jersey Devils 1
I expect the Over/Under (5.5) to stay under.
