Red Wings at Rangers picks and predictions
Prediction
Rangers 4, Red Wings 1
Moneyline
PASS.
There is minimal value on the Rangers (-200) on Monday.
Puck line/Against the spread
BET RANGERS -1.5 (+120).
The Rangers have scored 11 total goals in 2 Games while the Red Wings have just 6 total in 2 Games. Behind the home crowd, the Rangers are set for another big night offensively with Shesterkin expected to bounce back from a poor performance on Saturday.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 6 (-120).
Talbot and Shesterkin have each already notched a shutout in their 1st 2 games. With 2 premier goalies, scoring will be a tall task for both sides. The Red Wings have scored 3 goals in each of their 1st 2 games, but will likely not be able to keep that pace in their 1st road game.
