Friday’s Sheet: (updated at 12PM PT)

– Edmonton has looked pretty futile in their last two games, and they just added Sam Gagner to their growing list of  injuries. I’m not gonna bet them, but I will say that anyone who happens to take Detroit -300 must be really desperate for a bet (nothing in pro sports is guaranteed).

– Will Colorado win another game this season? I wouldn’t be shocked if they didn’t. In any case, it’s not a bad idea to fade them as much as possible, and this looks like a pretty good spot to fade them in. Give me the Ducks.
