Wrap Up

The Detroit Red Wings need to find a way to come out of this game with at least a point which won’t be easy against one of the best teams in the NHL this season but now they trail the Capitals and Islanders by one point for that final Wild Card spot. The Capitals also play tonight so a loss by them would benefit the Red Wings big time.

In their last ten games against the Rangers, Detroit is 3-6-1, and have been outscored by the Rangers 35-23 in those ten games. Detroit lost to the Rangers in both matchups back in November.
