Randy’s Pick

The Buffalo Sabres are the better team on paper and need to win these games if they’re going to get out of the basement of the Atlantic and make anything of this season. However, at the moment, these teams are in the same boat. Neither can string wins together, the offenses are sluggish and they’re riding 3-game losing streaks. The difference here is the Blackhawks are at home and we’re getting plus money. Give me the Blackhawks.
