Randy’s Free Pick
The St. Louis Blues are coming off an ice-cold week, and now they take on a team that they haven’t played well against lately. Also, it doesn’t help that the Winnipeg Jets have been ridiculously good on their home ice and their offense can give an often struggling Blues defense issues. The Jets have outscored the Blues 9-2 in the last 2 meetings. Give me the Jets and the PL to shave down the price.
