The thesis

Detroit favoured at 53.7%

NY Rangers finished last season 30th in the league on 77 points. Detroit finished 16th on 92, and the 2025-26 season series went NYR 2-1-0.

With the bookmaker margin removed, 9 US books price Detroit at 53.7% at home. Last season's table, adjusted for home ice, would put them at 62.6%.

Where the market disagrees with the table

Table: 62.6% DETMarket: 53.7% DET

Table probability uses 2025-26 points percentage (.561 vs .470) with home-ice advantage. The market rates Detroit 8.8 points lower than last season's table does.
