Randy’s Free Pick

The Minnesota Wild and the plus money is always appealing, but they’ve had issues on the road recently, and I’d need a little more bang for my buck if taking the leap. The Dallas Stars are kind of due for a win after some hit or miss spots of their own, and they’re usually solid on their home ice. The juice is reasonable. Give me the Stars.
