Randy’s Free Pick

The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to stay stuck in this weird funk, and they’ve had their most bizarre showings on the road. The Nashville Predators have been hit or miss, but they’re coming off a solid week, and they’re playing well at home. The price is strange. Give me the Preds on their home ice.
