Randy’s Free Pick

The New York Rangers should be favored at home, and they have had more success on their home ice lately. However, the Panthers are coming off possibly their best week of the season, and it may appear they’re starting to find something in terms of turning their season around. The Panthers have certainly improved their playoff chances with the results they’ve had lately. I like the value of the plus money here.
