Randy’s Free Pick
The Ottawa Senators still have some showing and proving to do on the road and against some of the better teams in the league. The Boston Bruins are not only the best team in the league, but they’re the most profitable team for bettors. Early start and home ice, it’s hard to go against the Bruins. I’ll lay the PL to shave down the juice.
