Randy’s Free Pick

The Minnesota Wild probably should be favored at home, and they're great on their home ice, but they've been shaky over the last couple of weeks. The New Jersey Devils have been money on the road all season long, and they're simply playing the better hockey overall. I'll gladly take the cheaper price with the Devils here.
