New York Rangers Betting Preview
The Rangers have won four of their last five games and aim to increase their win streak. They are coming off a 4-3 triumph over the New Jersey Devils, which put them back on the winning side after losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-2.
They currently lead the Metropolitan Division and need every win to maintain their lead. They are 24-11-4 on the road and showcase good momentum. Artemi Panarin ranks in the top sixth or better in offensive categories and leads the Rangers with 110 points, 45 goals, and 65 assists.
The Rangers put up 3.42 goals and take 31.1 shots each game to get there. Their power play percentage comes in at 25.8, as they have scored 59 goals and given up just 35 in those moments.
They allow opposing teams to average 2.78 goals on 29.5 shots each game. This is a solid margin of safety, but only if their offense can push forward. Their penalty-kill percentage is 83.7, slightly higher than the Red Wings.
Detroit Red Wings Betting Preview
With their most recent victory, the Red Wings finally snapped their four-game losing streak. This 4-2 showdown against the Tampa Bay Lightning marked their fifth consecutive road battle.
They are fifth in the Atlantic Division and much better at home (22-11-5) than on the road. Several players lead them in certain categories, with Dylan Larkin leading with 29 goals.
The Red Wings average 3.32 goals on 28.5 shots each game. Their power play percentage is 22.8, as they have scored 59 goals and allowed 45. If these situations occur, this should be a competitive matchup against the Ra fees.
