With the season just getting underway, the Rangers arrive at the Little Caesars Arena hoping to jumpstart their campaign, while the Red Wings will be looking to defend their home ice against a squad that has already found its rhythm. A clean bill of health for both sides means each netminder has a clear shot at a tidy performance, and neither team is dealing with any absences that could force a lineup shake‑up.
