Randy’s Free Pick
The Buffalo Sabres will have the edge at home with the early start time, but they've been shaky at best and home ice hasn't meant much to them lately. The Washington Capitals are the better team here with the much better defense, and they've been road warriors over the last month or so. The Caps have also owned the Sabres over the years. Give me the Capitals and the reasonable price.
