Randy’s Free Pick
The Winnipeg Jets in the plus money role are appealing, but we’re not getting a lot of bang for our buck here. The New Jersey Devils have been on a heater over the last couple of months, and they’ve done some of their best recent work at home. The price is cheap enough to where it’s hard to go against the Devils. Give me the home team.
