Rangers vs Detroit: the Red Wings are Gaining Momentum

Prediction for the NHL New York Rangers vs Detroit Red Wings match, which will take place on April 16 at 19:30. Who will be stronger? Check the teams’ conditions and expert betting tips. Several betting options are available!

The Rangers earned an early playoff ticket, but have a chance to move out of first place in the Capital One standings. At the moment they occupy second place being only two points behind the upstart Carolina. In the last matchup, the New Yorkers met with Philadelphia. Showing their superiority, the Rangers managed to outplay the Flyers (4:0). 

Detroit has been extremely unstable of late. First, the team loses to two outsiders - Columbus and Ottawa, and then, by some miracle, they beat the powerful Carolina on the road (3:0). Of course, the Red Wings are on a moral high after this win. The Red Wings remain in fifth place in the Atlantic Division standings, trailing the Boston.

The bookmakers have not paid any attention at all to the visiting team, which we are probably not going to do. Detroit played some very good hockey on the road against Carolina last night. The Red Wings will be on fire after that. 

• The Rangers have lost three of their last five home games.
• Detroit has won three of their previous five games.
• According to bookmakers, the Rangers are the clear favorites for the match.

The Rangers are far from the best at home lately. Three losses in five games is an unacceptable result for a top club. The bookmakers gave fantastic odds on the visiting team's victory with a plus handicap.
