Randy’s Pick

The Boston Bruins have yet to lose back to back games this season, and you’re not going to get them at prices this cheap often this season. However, the Bruins are on the end of a back to back, and they’re running into a hot Rangers side on the road. With the cheap price and the current form, it’s hard to turn down the Rangers in this spot. Give me the home team in this early Saturday contest.
