Rangers vs Red Wings prediction

The Rangers are the better team and should be favored. The Rangers have been road warriors all season, and they’re fighting to win the Presidents’ Trophy. The Rangers have also won 7 of the last 10 games against the Red Wings. With all that said, the Red Wings are at home where 21 of their 37 wins have come, and they’re in the thick of the playoff race. The Red Wings need all the points they can get, and you’d think they’d do their best work at home. I’ll take a shot with the Red Wings and the more favorable price, given the desperation for a victory to remain in the playoff race.
