The Rangers are having a great season and look to bounce back at home. The problem is that the Red Wings are coming off a big win and look to control this game from the first period. The Red Wings, who average 3.75 goals per game, should constantly find the back of the net with Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick passes near the net. The Red Wings should limit the Rangers offense with Justin Holl, Jake Walman, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Ville Husso to make plenty of big saves. The Red Wings should win the game and provide great odds in the process as road Underdogs.
Take the Red Wings money line as road Underdogs.

Both teams have great offenses that look to step up and find the back of the net throughout the game. The Rangers, who average 3.09 goals per game, should create plenty of scoring chances with Artemi Panarin, Mika Zibanejad, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick passes. The Red Wings look to build off a five-goal game and run up the score with Dylan Larkin, Alex DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond, and the rest of the forward unit crashing the net on the rush and creating open shots with effective puck movement while Moritz Seider picks apart the Rangers defense from the point. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.
Take the Over on 6 goals.
Prediction: Over 6
