Randy’s Free Pick

This should be a fun game between two teams that are playing great hockey at the moment, and you can make a case for either side. The difference is the Stars are at home where they play their best hockey, and it’s a place the Hurricanes don’t win often. Toss up game, I’m going to lean toward the club on its home ice.
