New York has won six of seven, part of a 13-6 run. The defense is strong all-around, ranked fifth in penalty killing, eighth in goals allowed, and sixth in save percentage (.910). Of their last eight losses, three were by just one goal. The Red Wings are in a difficult situational spot, coming home after playing six straight on the road. The defense is 18th in penalty killing, 21st in goals allowed, and 25th in save percentage (.888). The wagering value is on the visitors to win the game or lose by one goal. Play New York on the puck-line.
