Randy’s Pick

The Pittsburgh Penguins are coming off a rough week, and now they go on the road to play a red-hot Predators team. The Nashville Predators have caught fire offensively and have won 5 straight games, with a few of those wins coming against quality teams. While the shoe may drop eventually with the Preds, this isn’t the spot I step in front of them. Give me the home team and the cheap price.
