Randy’s Free Pick

The Los Angeles Kings continue to find ways to win, and their offensive firepower should have a field day against this Ducks defense. The Anaheim Ducks remain one of the worst teams in the league, and only the Flames and Sharks have lost bettors more money this season than the Ducks. My only option here is the Kings, and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
