Red Wings vs Rangers Prediction

If you’re considering a direct moneyline bet, the Rangers is the choice to make. However, with a payout of -206, you might want to use this bet as a building block for a parlay.

For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Red Wings to cover. Even if the Rangers secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Red Wings should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
