Wrap Up:

The Detroit Red Wings will look to continue their three-game winning streak. Still, it won’t be easy against the best team in the Eastern Conference to this point in the season, and on top of that, the Red Wings will also be without their captain as Dylan Larkin will not play in this one; however, they do get Jake Walman back on the defense. The Rangers also deal with their losses as they won’t have Kaapo Kakko either.

In their last ten games against New York, the Red Wings are 3-6-1 and have been outscored 37-22. The Red Wings lost the matchup to the Rangers on November 7th, 5-3 in Madison Square Garden.
