Detroit, MI (My Sportsbook) - The Detroit Red Wings will try to beat the New York Rangers for a seventh straight time tonight when they welcome the Blueshirts to Joe Louis Arena.

The Red Wings, who are 6-1-1 in the last eight in Motown against the Rangers, last fell to New York back on January 30, 1999 and have outscored the Blueshirts 14-4 in the last three meetings.

After beating the Columbus Blue Jackets last Saturday, the Red Wings have responded with back-to-back ties, including Thursday's 1-1 deadlock with the Dallas Stars.

Brendan Shanahan scored the lone goal for the Central-leading Red Wings, who have lost just once in their last nine (5-1-3).

Manny Legace, who spelled usual No. 1 Curtis Joseph, made 30 saves for Detroit, which will wrap up a brief two-game homestand tonight.

Following the tilt with the Rangers, the Red Wings will head to Columbus to play in a home-and-home set that will conclude on Thursday in the Motor City, where they are 11-3-3-1 on the season, including a 5-1-1 mark in their last seven on friendly ice.

The Rangers come into Saturday's affair on a sour note following Thursday's 3-1 setback at the hands of the Montreal Canadiens.

Eric Lindros scored the lone New York goal and Mike Dunham made 20 saves for the Rangers, who have won just once in their last seven games (1-5-0-1).

With the tally, Lindros extended his points streak to eight games. Big E has contributed five goals and three assists during the run.

New York, which is winless in its last six road games (0-3-2-1), has not fared well on enemy ice this season and has posted a 4-7-3-1 mark. However, the Rangers have had some surprising success against the Western Conference and are 8-5-2 this season in interconference matchups.
