NY Rangers vs Detroit NHL Preview & Pick

Total: 5.5
New York Rangers Betting Outlook
The Rangers return to the ice desperately seeking offense after being shut out 3-0 by Carolina. This team can play solid two-way hockey, but they simply can’t buy a goal right now. In seven of their eight losses this season, New York has managed to score one or fewer and their power play has been as cold as a January morning in Manhattan, going just 4-for-36.
Mika Zibanejad, usually one of the most reliable scorers in the league, voiced his frustration after the loss, saying the team keeps generating Grade-A chances but can’t finish. And while their road form has been the saving grace (6-0-0 away from home), Madison Square Garden’s goal horn has barely seen any action.
Coach Mike Sullivan insists the effort is there, especially through the first two periods against Carolina. Still, there’s no hiding the fact that the Rangers’ inability to convert chances is costing them points. If their offense doesn’t find life soon, another close loss could be coming.
Detroit Red Wings Betting Outlook
Detroit’s offense wasn’t much better in their 1-0 loss to Vegas, but at least they went down swinging. The defeat wrapped up a 3-2 road trip respectable, though not spectacular. Back on home ice, the Red Wings have been a different beast, riding a five-game home winning streak since dropping their opener to Montreal.
Coach Todd McLellan pointed out that the Wings missed key opportunities on the power play, which could have swung their game against Vegas. Expect that to be a focal point as Detroit begins a stretch with seven of their next eight contests at Little Caesars Arena.
Captain Dylan Larkin continues to lead by example, with eight goals and 18 points so far. His line’s consistency and energy at home have been the catalyst for Detroit’s recent dominance, and they’ll need that spark to outwork a desperate Rangers squad.
Betting Outlook
Both teams are coming off shutouts, so something’s got to give. The Rangers’ road success keeps them competitive, but Detroit’s home mojo is tough to fade. Expect the Red Wings to capitalize on their crowd energy and edge out a low-scoring battle.
Score Prediction: Red Wings 3, Rangers 2
Pick: Detroit (-112)
Total: Under 5.5 (+102)
