Randy’s Free Pick

On the end of a back to back or not, the Carolina Hurricanes are head and shoulders the better team here and don’t lose at home much. The Anaheim Ducks continue to go nowhere fast, and there’s only 4 teams that have hurt bettors more this season. The only option for me is to side with the Canes and the PL for max betting value.
