Randy’s Pick
The Florida Panthers are the better team and should be favored, but they’re also on the end of a back to back and on the road. The Anaheim Ducks continue to win games, they’re at home with the rest advantage, and they’re the most profitable team in the league right now. No team has earned bettors more money this season than the Ducks. You have to keep snagging the plus money as long as the tickets keep cashing. Give me the Ducks.
