Red Wings vs Rangers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Red Wings listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Red Wings have looked good in their games this season with their 11-6-3 record overall which has them fighting for a playoff spot at the moment. The Rangers have also looked really good in their games this season with their 15-4-1 record overall and their 6-2-0 home record. The Rangers were really hot over the last week or so but lately they have been cooling off in their games, coming off another loss in their last game. They haven't been scoring many goals in these losses either while the Red Wings have been starting to get hot themselves lately, scoring a lot more goals in their games too. The Red Wings also lost to the Rangers a few weeks ago so they will have revenge to think about in this road game where they lost. The Red Wings have been the hotter team lately and they will take advantage of the struggling Rangers to get their revenge on the road here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Red Wings to win this game.

Notable Quotes
"There was some adversity there. A lot of emotion went into the European trip. It’s a results-based league and we didn’t get results, but man, we played pretty darn good out there, and I really give our guys a little bit of credit for not accepting not getting results out there, putting a little more focus in their approach, and so far putting together a couple good performances." - Derek Lalonde after his team’s win against the Bruins in their game on Friday.
“That’s on us tonight. We didn’t play the way that we needed to play in order to be successful.” - Peter Laviolette after his team’s loss against the Sabres in their game on Monday.
