Randy’s Free Pick
The Dallas Stars at even money at home is intriguing, but I’d need more bang for my buck to take them seriously here. The Boston Bruins have been the best team in the league from the start, and they’re also the most profitable team for bettors. You don’t get Bruins at this price often, so I’d say take advantage while you can.
