Randy’s Free Pick
The Florida Panthers are on the end of a back to back, but they’ve played some of their better hockey over the last few weeks and this is a winnable game despite the lack of rest. The St. Louis Blues are coming off a horrible week and that defense has taken a major step backwards during the losing stretch. The Panthers have the offense to add to those issues. Give me the road favorite.
