Rangers vs Red Wings Predictions and Picks

"Detroit is the better team in this matchup, playing the better hockey coming into Friday. Look for Detroit to do the work on both sides of the puck to overwhelm a below-average New York team. Take the Red Wings on Friday to get back to their winning ways as they get the home victory against New York. Final Score Prediction: Detroit Red Wings win 3-1." — Cameron Ross, Picks and Parlays

"The Rangers feels like a sharp play because their road form has been outstanding, sitting at 6-1-1 away from Madison Square Garden. For whatever reason, they've looked more confident and freer offensively outside of New York, and Igor Shesterkin has been locked in, giving them the kind of goaltending that travels well .... Detroit has been excellent at Little Caesars Arena, but their offense has shown cracks when facing structured defenses, and that's exactly what New York brings. The Rangers' penalty kill has been sharp, and their ability to limit second-chance opportunities should help neutralize Dylan Larkin's line."  — Dean Whitaker, Winners and Whiners
