The Red Wings play their first road game tonight and it offers consirable challenges. The Rangers ranked seventh in the NHL last season in both goals-for and goals-against. It’s primarily the same team this season.



Early indications suggest they will be a similar team this season.

This is a home-and-home series against the Rangers. Detroit and New York will meet again Thursday at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday

Red Wings Notes: Jeff Petry is officially day-to-day with an upper body injury. He won’t play tonight. Christian Fischer is also day-to-day and won’t play. The Red Wings will call up someone this, probably a veteran, from Grand Rapids today. The Red Wings placed goalie Ville Husso on waivers Sunday to clear up some cap space for the call-up. Husso’s cap hit is $4.75 million. It’s unlikely he would be claimed.

Rangers Note: Coach Peter Laviolette has not yet named his starting goalie. Igor Shesterkin, who reportedly recently turned down a contract offer of $88 million over eight years, gave up six goals in his last outing. He shut out Pittsburgh 6-0 in New York’s opener. He has an .895 save percentage for his two outings. Jonathan Quick is his backup. Artemi Panarin is the team’s leading scorer with two goals, two assists, four points.
