Randy’s Free Pick
The Los Angeles Kings continue to pile up the wins, and they do a fine job of winning the games they’re supposed to win. The Philadelphia Flyers still aren’t trustworthy against good teams, and their defense lets them down more times than not. Strong line for the Kings on the road, but this is a game they should win. Of course, I lay the PL for max betting value.
