Every bet we like in this game

Detroit Red Wings vs New York Rangers: Detroit Red Wings 3-Way Moneyline (+130)

The Detroit Red Wings need to score more goals than the New York Rangers to win tonight. They have been scoring just under three goals a game this season, which is pretty decent, especially at home. The Rangers have been a bit shaky lately, winning only four of their last ten games, so the Red Wings might have a good chance to take this one. The risk here is how close the teams are, with both being competitive this season. With home ice advantage and a solid chance to score, I like Detroit to pull off the win tonight.

Detroit Red Wings vs New York Rangers: Detroit Red Wings +1.5 Puck Lines (-303)

For the Detroit Red Wings to cover the +1.5 spread tonight, they just need to keep the game close or win outright. They scored about 2.91 goals a game last season and have a solid home advantage that can help them. The Rangers have only won 4 of their last 10 games, which shows they can be inconsistent. The biggest risk is that the Red Wings only managed to win 30 out of 82 games in regulation last year, meaning they sometimes struggle to finish strong. Still, with their home crowd behind them and the Rangers not on their best form, this pick looks promising.

Detroit Red Wings vs New York Rangers: Gabe Perreault Over 1.5 Shots on Goal (+120)

Gabe Perreault is set to play at Little Caesars Arena, where the Detroit Red Wings host the New York Rangers. The Red Wings have been scoring almost three goals a game this season, showing they know how to put pucks on net. Perreault has a good chance to get over 1.5 shots on goal, especially with the way Detroit plays, taking a decent number of shots on average. The Rangers' recent form shows they've won only 4 of their last 10 games, which could mean they'll be under pressure. While Perreault might have solid opportunities, remember that the Rangers can be tough defensively. Still, with the right chances coming his way, he should be able to get those shots off.

Detroit Red Wings vs New York Rangers: Vladislav Gavrikov Over 1.5 Shots on Goal (+120)

Vladislav Gavrikov has a good chance to take over 1.5 shots on goal in this matchup against the New York Rangers at Little Caesars Arena. The Detroit Red Wings have averaged about 28 shots per game this season, which means there should be plenty of opportunities for Gavrikov to get involved. While the Rangers have only won 4 of their last 10 games, they tend to give up shots, which could work in Gavrikov's favor. One risk is that the game is close and could lead to both teams tightening up defensively. Still, with the way Gavrikov has been playing and the overall pace of the game, this bet feels like a solid choice. Keep an eye on how the game unfolds, but it looks promising for Gavrikov to reach that mark.

Detroit Red Wings vs New York Rangers: Gabe Perreault Over 0.5 Goals (+320)

Gabe Perreault has a solid chance to score in this matchup at Little Caesars Arena. The Detroit Red Wings have been averaging nearly three goals a game this season, showing they can find the back of the net. Plus, the New York Rangers have allowed plenty of shots lately, which means there could be opportunities for Perreault to get a goal. While the Rangers have won four of their last ten games, the Red Wings are at home and have been scoring consistently. The biggest risk here is that the game could be tightly contested, making it harder for any single player to shine. Still, with the odds at +320, this bet on Perreault feels like a fun chance to take!
