Red Wings at Rangers preview
The New York Rangers will try for their seventh consecutive victory at Madison Square Garden when they host the Detroit Red Wings on Friday.
The Rangers, who have won three straight, will be without defenseman Ryan McDonagh, who will miss his second game in a row with an abdominal strain. The New York captain will be re-evaluated by team doctors on Sunday, coach Alain Vigneault said.
The Rangers haven't lost at the Garden since a 4-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Oct. 23. New York is 9-3-0 overall since.
The Red Wings have lost their past two games (0-1-1) and four of their past six (2-2-2).
Detroit forward Anthony Mantha has no points in his past three games after having 11 points (six goals, five assists) in his previous eight games.
Rangers defenseman Brendan Smith had an assist and played a season-high 19:56 in a 6-1 win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday. He will face his former team for the second time; Detroit traded him to New York on Feb. 28.
Zetterberg has 0 goals and 4 assists in his last 14.
Neither team had a morning skate so the lineups are to be determined.
