Randy’s Pick
The Seattle Kraken have yet to win on the road this season, and they’re one of the worst offensive teams up to this point. The Detroit Red Wings are riding an impressive 5-game winning streak, the offense is on fire and their power play is lighting the league on fire. It’s still early in the season, but you can’t help but be impressed with what the Red Wings are doing right now. Give me the home team to stay hot.
