Randy’s Free Pick

The St. Louis Blues have a clear edge on the offensive side, and they’ve owned the Coyotes over the years in their building. The Blues have also been road warriors as of late. The Arizona Coyotes are a complete mess, and playing at home hasn’t helped much. The only option for me here is to side with the Blues, and the price is somewhat reasonable. Give me the Blues.
