Randy’s Free Pick

The Columbus Blue Jackets are going nowhere fast, and they play their worst hockey by far on the road. There’s only three teams that have lost bettors more money this season than the Blue Jackets. There’s no reason why the Flames don’t win this game comfortably, and the line suggests that. Give me the Flames and the PL for max betting value.
