The New York Rangers are on the end of a back to back, but they’re playing solid hockey right now, and they’ve been dominant in the favorite role. The Detroit Red Wings don’t win enough to be worth a look in the underdog role, and they’re coming off a game where they gave up 11 goals to the Penguins. The Red Wings are heading in the wrong direction fast. Give me the Rangers, and I’ll take the PL to shave down the price.
