The Detroit Red Wings (18-12-3, 9-6-1 Home) will host the New York Islanders (19-11-3, 9-5-1 Away) at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI, tonight at 7 p.m. EST with coverage on ESPN+.
New York will come into the game on a roll, having won six of their last seven games, including their last three (all at home). They should be rested for this game since they haven’t played since Saturday, when they beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 in a shootout. As for Detroit, the Red Wings are also having a solid season and are playing well at the moment with wins in four of their last five games; they scored four goals in each of the wins, recorded a shutout in two, and held their opponents to three goals in the other. They shut out the Blackhawks in Chicago their last time out (Saturday, 4-0). When these two teams last played on Thursday, November 20, Detroit played a decent game, but couldn’t score a single goal, losing 5-0. Maxim Shabanov led the way for the Islanders with two goals and an assist, and goalie Ilya Sorokin recorded 29 saves. New York crushed Detroit in their early-season matchup (Oct. 23), 7-2.

Our Detroit Red Wings vs New York Islanders Prediction
I understand that playing at home can give a team a boost, but with how both teams have been playing, and with how the Islanders dominated both early-season matchups. I can’t see why the Red Wings are getting so much support. New York has dominated Detroit, and the Islanders are playing well right now. Detroit is playing well, but I don’t see them beating the Islanders.
