10* Wings (UNDERDOG OF MONTH)

The Rangers can't afford to take the foot off the gas if they hope to hold onto the No. 1 spot in the East, because the Bruins are only one point behind them. There's only two weeks left in the regular season, and after three straight losses, the Wings bounced back with a 4-2 win at Tampa three nights ago. Now rested, they sit in ninth spot right now, just one game behind the Islanders and Philly for 7th and 8th spot. Detroit is also tied with Washington for that 9th spot. The Wings play with the added incentive of revenge here after falling 3-2 at New York at the start of the season. The Rangers just beat the Devils in their latest game, but with a home date vs. lowly Montreal up next, could the visitors also get caught "looking ahead" here?! Look for the hungry and now desperate home side to risk life and limb to build off its most recent win over the Lightning and to avenge the earlier loss at the same time; the play is indeed on Detroit!
