Detroit Red Wings vs New York Rangers Betting Analysis

Kane Will Add to Detroit’s High-Powered Offense

The Detroit Red Wings lines will be loaded with quality players on all four lines once Kane gets into the lineup. The former Conn Smythe winner signed with the Red Wings on Tuesday and, while there’s no word as to whether he’ll get into the lineup against the New York Rangers, he will eventually provide a boost to an offense that’s already fourth in goals per game (3.7). Detroit is T13th in goals allowed (3.0).

Detroit brings a balanced attack to the Red Wings vs Rangers betting analysis with eight players having recorded at least 10 points. Dylan Larkin leads the team in NHL player stats with 21 points (8 goals, 13 assists). Alex DeBrincat is second with 20 points (12 goals, 8 assists) and Shayne Gostisbehere is third with 18 points (5 goals, 13 assists).

Rangers Offense Dying Up?

Ignoring the Rangers 7-4 win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday, New York has scored just eight goals in its last four games. They’re T13th in goals per game (3.3) and rank 25th in shots (29.4), indicating they’ve been more lucky, or at least able to finish scoring chances, than most other teams. A big reason for their recent offensive struggles, despite still winning games and improving the New York Rangers standings, is the absence of Adam Fox, who has been out since November 2 with a lower-body injury. The defenseman had 11 points in his first 10 games.

Zibanejad, in particular, has been underperforming this season with just 15 points (5 goals, 10 assists) in 20 games. Former second-overall pick Kaapo Kakko has been incredibly underwhelming with just three points (2 goals, 1 assist) in 20 games. Artemi Panarin leads the team in scoring with 30 points (11 goals, 19 assists).

Updates

Matt Luff and Jake Walman are on the NHL injury report for the Red Wings. Fox, Kakko, and Filip Chytil are out with injuries for the Rangers.

Detroit Red Wings vs. New York Rangers Betting Prediction
