Detroit has not shown strong results at the start of the regular season and is in 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings with 13 points after 13 games. The team from Michigan plays in stretches and looked disastrous on home ice at the end of last month.

In early November, Dylan Larkin squad played a short away series, which they started with a victory in Chicago (4:1). The day before, the Wings failed to cope with Toronto defense (1:3). The Red Wings took advantage of the power play and tied the score in the second period, but the then guests were not able to do more.

New York Rangers
USACurrent form
New York dropped to sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings, but has several games in hand. The Rangers currently have 17 points after 12 games and can potentially rise to second place. After a very strong start, Peter Laviolette team began to gradually slow down and lost three of the previous six games. At the end of October, the Cops played mostly at Madison Square Garden, where they lost to Florida (1:3), but beat Anaheim (2:1), Ottawa (2:1) and the Islanders (5:2). In their only away game, the Blueshirts failed to cope with Washington (3:5), and before the trip to Michigan, they suffered a crushing defeat in the Buffalo derby (1:6).

1.35Tip and bets
We believe that the Rangers will beat Detroit for the third time this season. Derek Lalonde team does not show good implementation of its chances and concedes more often than it scores. Yes, New York is not in the best shape now, but after such a crushing defeat in the derby, the visitors must pull themselves together and recoup on an opponent from the lower part of the standings. In terms of hockey quality, the "cops" are clearly superior to their opponents, so we expect them to win in regulation time. We suggest making a pair on the victory of the "blue shirts" within 60 minutes. Prediction - Rangers win for 1.95
Bet on individual total The "cops" have had problems converting their chances lately, but in the game against "Detroit" they have an opportunity to fix the situation. "Krylia" will not put out their main goalie and most recently "Red Wings" have allowed nine goals in two games against "Rangers". We think that the visitors will score at least three times. We bet on the individual total of Rangers more than three goals with a coefficient of 1.65
Total Bet
Not long ago, the teams already met each other in Michigan and then they scored seven accurate hits between them. Detroit will probably have to play catch-up and, overall, the hosts have everything they need to score. It time for Artemiy Panarin and his partners to wake up, because New York is gradually falling down and starting to lag behind the best clubs in the conference. Let play total over goals.
We take the total over six goals for 1.82
