Game Preview: New York Rangers vs Detroit Red Wings

The biggest change ahead of this game is the addition of Patrick Kane to the Red Wings' lineup. With 12 points in New York last season and 57 total, Kane is looking to start fresh from an injury and hoping to add scoring to an already thriving offense. The Wings are 4th in goals per game (3.7) and have won 3 in a row, though they were outshot in each of those games. For the home team, the Rangers are bouncing back from a home loss vs Buffalo. The Rangers are 2nd in the NHL in points, and are fueled by 30 points from Artemi Panarin, 3.19 Points per 60 from Chris Kreider and 13.79 Unblocked Shot Attempts per 60 from Mika Zibanejad. With such high scoring trends from each team, goaltending could be the difference in maker tonight.
