New York Rangers Complete Home-And-Home Set With the Detroit Red Wings
Your New York Rangers will complete their home-and-home set with the Detroit Red Wings tonight as the two teams shift back to Little Caesars Arena in the Motor City ahead of the game tonight. The win at home against these Red Wings was not convincing, but it was an effort that got the job done. Now, the Rangers will continue to look to continue their strong start to the season against a team that can be dangerous.
New York has some firepower on offer tonight, as Mika Zibanejad seems to have woken up. A three-point night in the first game between these two teams saw much-needed production and moved Mika above the point-per-game mark in the young season. With Chris Kreider and Reilly Smith, there is a line for Zibanejad that can get him back to his best coming off that sluggish season last year. He's a big part of this Rangers forward core and needs to be at his best for the playoffs.

Jacob Trouba has also ticked along at more than a point per game to start the season. With all the rumors surrounding him this summer, the pairing with him and Braden Schneider has struggled at times in its own zone but has found a way to create offense when needed. They will both be looking to continue to trouble the scorekeepers during the game tonight.
