Randy’s Pick
The Los Angeles Kings deserve to be favored on their home ice as they’ve been sharper over the larger sample size and their offense has been impressive. The Montreal Canadiens just lacks that much offensive firepower to hang with the Kings in their best form. However, the Habs are enjoying a nice week and that momentum could continue here if they’re lucky. We’re getting almost two times our money. Give me the Canadiens and potential big payout.
