Randy’s Free Pick

The Buffalo Sabres have been fade material on the road these last few years, and they’re just not consistent enough this season for that to change. The Los Angeles Kings have played their best hockey on their home ice, and they’re slightly more trustworthy on the defensive side. I’d prefer this line to be slightly cheaper, but it’s Kings or pass for me here.
