Randy’s Pick

The St. Louis Blues haven’t been bad this season, so it’s kind of strange to see them in a massive underdog role. However, the Blues offense can be hit or miss at times, and that makes them a bit hard to trust on the road. The Los Angeles Kings continue to play well at both ends of the floor, and their defense against the Panthers a couple nights ago was impressive. You have to like the form the Kings are in right now. Give me the Kings and the PL for max betting value.
