After getting thumped by the Ottawa Senators two nights ago, the Rangers are on in primetime against another Atlantic Division adversary, as they’ll welcome the Detroit Red Wings into the world’s most famous arena tonight. Although the Rangers’ 5-6-1 start to the season isn’t great, the Red Wings appear to be all in on tanking for the 2020 Entry Draft, as they sport a 4-11-1 record coming into action tonight. These two teams have combined to win 9 out of their 28 game so far, so it’s good that tonight’s game will be broadcast nationally on NBCSN.
Both teams have made lineup changes in the hopes of turning their respective seasons around.
