Randy’s Free Pick
The New York Islanders just can't get out of their own way, and they're just not a team I'm excited to back much these days, given the struggles. The Pittsburgh Penguins have had their fair share of issues as well, but at least they're at home here, and you'd think that's the difference in this game. I'll lay the reasonable price with the Penguins.
