Randy’s Free Pick

The Vancouver Canucks have been sluggish over these last 3 weeks, and they don’t win on the road. The Nashville Predators have been hit or miss all year, but they’ve been slightly more consistent overall, and being at home helps here. I can’t get behind the Canucks. Give me the Preds and the PL for max betting value.
