The Detroit Red Wings are +170 underdogs while the New York Rangers are -205 favorites with the over/under set at six goals.
New York has been solid at home and will be starting Igor Shesterkin who's one of the best goalies in the NHL. Although the Red Wings offense has been solid this season, Detroit struggles to keep the puck out of their net and this New York offense can make teams pay.
The Rangers will be able to get out to an early lead at home and will continue to play solid defensively and in the net to get the win.
