Randy’s Free Pick

The Buffalo Sabres look like they're getting back on track, but they're still a team I fade on the road whenever given the chance, as they've had those issues for several years now. The Winnipeg Jets remain one of the hotter teams in the league, and they've been a buzz saw at home dating back to last season. The price is a bit steep, but there's no betting against the Jets here.
