Randy’s Free Pick
The Florida Panthers are playing better hockey over the last couple of weeks, but I still need to see a bit more before I can trust them in spots like this. The Minnesota Wild have been far and away more consistent, they're highly impressive on their home ice, and their defensive effort gives them a clear edge. We also don't get the Wild at prices this soft often. Give me the Wild, but the Panthers are a team I'm paying closer attention to down the stretch.
