Rangers vs. Red Wings Prediction
I’m on the Rangers here. Both of these teams are coming off of disappointing losses, but the Red Wings are on the back-to-back, and the Rangers have had the bulk of the success between these two teams as of late. It’s also not often that Igor Shesterkin struggles in back-to-back starts. Give me New York.
