NEW YORK -- The Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers both will wrap up their respective weekend back-to-back sets when the Original Six clubs square off at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night.

In his absence, assistant coaches David Quinn and Joe Sacco will share the responsibility for coaching the team.

J.T. Miller and Vincent Trocheck scored in the shootout to give the Rangers their NHL-leading ninth road win, 2–1 over the Blue Jackets on Saturday.

The NHL has three New York-area teams – the New York Rangers, New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils – all at different points in their paths to a Stanley Cup Playoff run.

The New York Rangers have recalled Scott Morrow from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League, while sending down Gabe Perreault.

With Matt Rempe on long-term injured reserve with an upper-body injury suffered in an Oct. 23 fight with San Jose Sharks brawler Ryan Reaves, the responsibility to answer the bell has fallen squarely on Carrick’s shoulders. He’s embraced it with three spirited fights this season, which hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Welcome to another Saturday edition of NHL Predictions, with us here at Last Word On Hockey. The New York Rangers have finally begun to play up to expectations, winning their last two games, including their first home win of the season.
