The Rangers have won two of their first three games, as they have opened the season sizzling on the offensive end with 15 goals. The Detroit Red Wings have dropped two of their first three games and they have allowed five or more goals in both losses. Jonathan Quick is slated to backstop the road squad tonight, making his first start of the season. Cam Talbot is confirmed in the other crease, and although he was sharp against Nashville, this will be a step up. Detroit is 3-10 in their last 13 games against the Rangers, including four straight losses where they were outscored 16-9. Make the play on the New York Rangers.

Premium Picks
Detroit at New York
The Rangers are 1-0-1 to start the season and have produced 11 goals through two games. The issue so far is they are allowing three goals a game and have to tighten things up on the back end of the ice to keep winning. Detroit should have some energy as they shut out the Nashville Predators in their last game. They appear to be in an excellent historic position tonight. A team that is shut out its 2nd game opponent wins game 3 at a rate of 61.1%. I think the Red Wings are coming to play tonight, and I like the situation. Make the play on Detroit.

Premium Picks
New York at Detroit
The Detroit Red Wings are currently tied for ninth place overall in the NHL East. They are however just 1 standing point from being tied for 6th, so the rest of the schedule is loaded with work to do. They have a tough game vs. the NY Rangers tonight, as the Rangers enter with an Eastern Conference leading 106 points. They are being tailed closely by Boston who has 105. The Rangers know the value of having home ice advantage through the Eastern Conference playoffs and beyond, so expect a focused effort tonight. The Rangers are sizzling and over their last 28 games they are 22-6. The Red Wings are really struggling down the stretch at 4-12 in their last 16 and I don't see them challenging here against a hot team in a meaningful game. Make the play on the NY Rangers.
