The New York Rangers and the Detroit Red Wings will face off against each other today at MSG. The 6-3-2 Wings notched another one at home yesterday, blanking the Islanders 3-0. Detroit has been stellar in the Motor City, with a record of 5-1-1, but on the road it’s a different story. They are 1-2-1 away from Little Caesars Arena and will be playing back-to-back games, where they are 17-40 in their last 57 with no days rest. The 6-4-2-Rangers are 3-2-2 at the Garden, will be well rested, and have owned the Red Wings. New York is 5-1 in their last 6 meetings overall and 10-4 in the last 14 meetings in Manhattan. It will be difficult for the Red Wings to find the back of the net. The Rangers are expected to have the best goalie on the planet between the pipes, Igor Shesterkin, who is 6-1-2 with a 2.41 GAA and a .916 SV%.
