7:05 PM EST. OT included. For regular readers of this space, seeing the Red Wings on our slate is no big surprise. We’re first to admit that we’ve probably used Detroit too often this year but it’s not really our choice, as they come in so undervalued so often that we’re almost forced to use them. Detroit remains a highly competitive team that has more one-goal losses this year than any team in the NHL. They’re also coming off a 2-1 win over the Islanders and even one win does wonders for a teams’ psyche. That said, this wager is more about fading the Rangers.

New York favored in this range is outrageous but when you throw in the horrible situational spot that the Rags are in, it makes them instant fade material. The Rangers return home from a grueling four-game trip that started with three games on the Canadian West Coast. As if that wasn’t difficult enough this time of year, the Rags had a game in Minnesota to cap it off on Sunday. That was the Rags fourth road game in six days and also their 6th road game over its past seven games. Now the Rags will return home to play a non-playoff team and to make matters even worse, they have the Maple Leafs (on the road) up next followed by games against Pittsburgh and Boston. This is a one-game homestand that is completely meaningless and one of the worst situational spots we have seen all season. Finally, if that’s not enough, the Rangers rank 27th over the past six weeks in Scoring Chances Against.
