Randy’s Free Pick

The Pittsburgh Penguins need to win on the road eventually, and this matchup is just what the doctor ordered. The Anaheim Ducks are terrible, and playing at home hasn’t helped much. The Penguins’ offense should have a field day against that Ducks defense. No excuses for the road team. Give me the Penguins and the PL for max betting value.
