Detroit just isn't good enough anymore to be laying this high of a price. The Red Wings are in the midst of a three-game losing streak after having won six in a row.

Toronto's Austin Matthews is getting all the early publicity for rookie of the year honors. But Winnipeg rookie Patrik Laine has six goals, too, the same number as Matthews. I think he's just as good.

Winnipeg has solid offensive talent. The Jets are 4-6-1, but three of the defeats were by one goal to playoff teams.

The Red Wings are going again with Petr Mrazek in goal. I think that's a mistake as I regard Jimmy Howard as their best goalie.
