Randy’s Free Pick
The Washington Capitals are worth a look in the underdog role because they've been road warriors lately. The Caps have also owned the Avs in recent meetings. However, the Colorado Avalanche are still the better team here overall, they do most of their best work at home, and they're often steeper priced in these spots. I just have more confidence in the Avalanche at home. I'll lay the juice.
