Randy’s Free Pick
The Columbus Blue Jackets just aren't a team you should be eager to back, as they're below average at both ends of the ice, and only three teams have hurt bettors more this season. The Edmonton Oilers are on quite a roll at the moment, and their offensive firepower should have a field day against this Blue Jackets defense. This has a chance to get ugly. Give me the Oilers and the PL for max betting value.
