Randy’s Free Pick
The Detroit Red Wings are coming off a good week, but there’s still some more showing and proving that needs to be done on the road. The Edmonton Oilers are still comfortably the better team here, with an offense that can give the Red Wings hell. We saw it last week when the Oilers scored 5 goals on the road against Detroit. Give me the Oilers and the PL to shave down the juice.
