Red Wings vs Rangers

The Detroit Red Wings faced a 4-1 defeat against the New York Rangers, marking their second loss in three games this NHL season and placing them at a 1-2 record. Dylan Larkin scored the Wings' only goal just before the first period ended, but the team struggled offensively and failed to capitalize on their power plays, finishing 0-for-4. Igor Shesterkin of the Rangers made 31 saves, while Alex Lyon stopped 24 shots for Detroit, becoming their third goalie in as many games. The Rangers scored after winning important face-offs, highlighting the Red Wings' defensive issues, which have seen them concede four or more goals in two of their first three games. With 75 goals lost from last season's roster, Detroit's scoring depth is a growing concern. The teams are set to meet again on Thursday at Little Caesars Arena.
