Randy’s Free Pick
The Chicago Blackhawks aren’t a good team, they don’t win on the road, and I doubt them being on the end of a back to back helps them here. The Arizona Coyotes have issues of their own, but at least they’re at home with the rest advantage. If there was a game the Coyotes should win, it would be this one. I’ll lay the juice.
