Detroit Red Wings vs New York Rangers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/16/25

The Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers are set for a Sunday night showdown at Madison Square Garden. New York’s struggles to score goals at home are well-documented, as they’ve been shutout a whopping 5 times already on home ice this season. However, things are looking up now that Vincent Trocheck is back in the mix. Trocheck made his season debut earlier this week on November 10, and promptly propelled the Rangers to a 6-3 win on home ice over the Predators. The veteran center had 2 points in that contest, and has 4 points through 3 games since his return. New York has scored 15 goals in 3 games with Trocheck in the lineup, and he could be the springboard they need to get the offense rolling at home.

On the other side, the Red Wings are coming off a 5-4 overtime loss to the Sabres on Saturday night. Detroit led 4-1 before squandering the lead and falling short in 3-on-3 hockey. The good news is that Detroit most likely won’t have to face Igor Shesterkin in this one. Shesterkin started on Saturday against Columbus, which means it will presumably be Jonathan Quick between the pipes for New York in this one. Quick has been effective in his 4 games this season, and already held Detroit to a single goal on 33 shots on November 7. Looking to bounce back from last night’s collapse and get revenge on Quick, look for Detroit to come out firing. Consider a small play on the over.
