NEW YORK — Hoping to return home with two more critical points as their push for the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs continues to accelerate, the Detroit Red Wings will end their three-game road trip when they take on the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know what\u2019s at stake here,\u201d Simon Edvinsson said. \u201cWe need to win most of the games we have left here. I think everybody is very dialed into that, so everybody wants to show that our game speaks for itself. It\u2019s going to be two weeks here that we\u2019re going to be putting everything into the games. It\u2019s going to be a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Puck drop for the third and final regular-season clash between Detroit (40-27-8; 88 points) and New York (31-36-9; 71 points) is set for 12:30 p.m., with TV broadcast coverage exclusively on ABC and radio coverage on 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit. The Red Wings secured a 2-1 win over the Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 16 after dropping a 4-1 decision at Little Caesars Arena on Nov. 7.<\/p>\n
Thursday\u2019s big 4\u20132 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers at Xfinity Mobile Arena opened the April portion of Detroit\u2019s regular-season slate, which, after Saturday\u2019s matinee, includes a four-game homestand from April 5\u201311 and a two-game road trip from April 13\u201315.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see the new light here,\u201d Edvinsson said. \u201cSo, to get a win to start [the month of April] was great, especially to play the team game that we played was huge. I think that gave us a lot of energy as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK — Hoping to return home with two more critical points as their push for the 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":540417,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5101],"tags":[599,93,5137,5,4,3358,5138],"class_list":{"0":"post-540416","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-detroit-red-wings","8":"tag-detroit","9":"tag-detroit-red-wings","10":"tag-detroitredwings","11":"tag-hockey","12":"tag-nhl","13":"tag-red-wings","14":"tag-redwings"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116347066393920728","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=540416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/540417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=540416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=540416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=540416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
