Detroit Red Wings vs. New York Rangers Preview, Prediction, and Odds| April 5, 2024

Detroit Red Wings vs. New York Rangers

The Detroit Red Wings (37-30-8) face off against the New York Rangers (51-21-4) in an Eastern Conference matchup that could have playoff implications.

The Red Wings are coming off a 4-2 win over the Lighting on Monday. Goalie Alex Lyon finished the game with 34 saves on 36 shot attempts. J.T. Compher and Dylan Larkin led the way for Detroit, each racking up two assists. Robby Fabbri, Patrick Kane, David Perron, and Lucas Raymond each tallied a goal in the win.

New York is coming off a 4-3 win over the Devils on Wednesday night in a game that started with a 10-man brawl. Igor Shesterkin tallied 17 saves on 20 shot attempts. Alexis Lafreniere scored a goal and had one assist, and Artermi Panarin scored a goal and one assist with eight shots on the net.

Can the Red Wings pick up a much-needed win at home to keep their playoff chances alive, or will the Rangers maintain their advantage in the Metropolitan Division?

Key Stats

Detroit Red Wings

The Red Wings enter tonight’s game with a 4-6 record in their last ten games, including dropping four of their last five. Alex Lyon will be in the net tonight for Detroit. Lyon has a record of 19-16-4 this year, allows 3.00 goals per game, and has a SV% of .907. Lucas Raymond leads the team with 61 points, on 36 assists. Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Larkin have 60 points each, but Larkin has done so playing in only 61 games.

New York Rangers

New York is 8-2-0 in its last ten games, and Igor Shesterkin is the probable starter tonight at goalie. Shesterkin has a record of 33-16-2 this year, allowing 2.65 goals per game, and has a SV% of .910. Artemi Panarin leads the team with 110 points, a Plus/Minus of 18, 45 goals, and 65 assists this season. Matt Rempe has a team-high 69 penalty minutes.

Game Prediction

These two teams met twice in November, and New York won both games. The Red Wings have the advantage of a few extra days of rest and will try to build some momentum from their 4-2 win over the Lightning on Monday as they fight for the last wildcard playoff spot. The Rangers come in red hot and sit five points ahead in the Metropolitan. The Rangers have the advantage at goalie, but I think the Red Wings have a bit more to play for, and in front of a raucous home crowd, they pull this one out.

Final Pick

Detroit Red Wings ML (+114)
