Randy’s Free Pick

The Winnipeg Jets continue to play above average hockey, and they've beaten up on losing teams all season. The Columbus Blue Jackets can't get out of their own way as they're horrible at both ends of the ice, and they're a top-5 team in losing money for bettors this season. I can't get behind the Blue Jackets in any shape or form. Give me the Jets and the PL for max betting value.
