Randy’s Pick

Both teams on the end of a back to back, I have to give the home team the slight edge. The Vegas Golden Knights are having a rough week overall and their defense has slipped as they’ve allowed 3 or more goals in 5 of their last 6 games. This is Vega’s fourth straight road game of a 5-game road trip. Tired legs, for sure. Pick ’em prices here. Give me the Penguins if forced to pick.
