Randy’s Free Pick

The Arizona Coyotes have had success at home, but they don’t string together wins enough to trust them against respectable teams. The Nashville Predators have played some of their best hockey over the last couple of weeks, and they need games like this to stay in the playoff race. I’ll take the Predators and the PL for max betting value.
