Pick
I’m sticking with the Blues here. The Blues aren’t a team I’m rushing to the window to back, but they’re a streaky team that you ride until their current streak falls off and then you start going the other way. The Blues have won back-to-back games and the Red Wings are on a back-to-back here and on the road which is never an ideal spot for Detroit so I’ll back the Blues here.
