Randy’s Free Pick

The Chicago Blackhawks still can't be trusted against quality teams, as they still can't string wins together and their defense remains awful. Home ice also hasn't helped the Blackhawks much. The Toronto Maple Leafs haven't had issues winning on the end of back to backs, and their offense should have a field day against this Chicago defense. Give me the Maple Leafs and the PL for max betting value.
