We like the New York Rangers to defeat the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday at 7:07pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

With the Rangers coming off a 1-6 loss, they'll want to respond with a win on Saturday in this original six battle.

New York is still 8-3-1 this year with the Red Wings sitting at 6-5-1.

Detroit have lost back to back games this season as a home underdog.

When the Red Wings have been the favorites in this matchup, the Rangers have won five games in a row.

We don't see the Red Wings matching up well tonight. The Rangers have too many strong lines. We're on NYR today.
