Take #33 Rangers vs Red Wings Over The New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings both bring plenty of offensive potential into this season-opening matchup for Detroit. New York has already played two games, scoring five goals in its most recent outing against Tampa Bay after being shut out by Boston in the opener. Detroit has plenty of scoring talent returning, led by Alex DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond, Dylan Larkin and Moritz Seider. While Larkin will miss the opener, the Red Wings still have enough offensive weapons to create chances against the Rangers. The Rangers have shown they can generate offense, and Detroit will be looking to make a statement in its home opener after another frustrating offseason. John Gibson gives the Red Wings experience in net, but the Rangers have enough firepower to put pressure on him throughout the night. The game script is also appealing for the Over. If New York gets on the board early, Detroit should be forced to open things up and take more offensive chances. Conversely, if the Red Wings establish themselves offensively, the Rangers have already demonstrated they can respond with goals of their own. With two talented offenses, a motivated Detroit squad playing at home, and New York already finding its scoring touch, we're expecting an entertaining game with plenty of opportunities on both sides.
