Randy’s Free Pick
The Nashville Predators are playing the better hockey right now, but they’re also a team that lets you down once you start believing. The Flyers are due for a breakout win at home, and these early start times usually favor the home team. I kind of like the plus money with the Flyers, even if they’ve been all over the place. I’ll take a shot with the home dog.
