Randy’s Free Pick
The San Jose Sharks don't have much success on the road, and they have even less success on the end of back to backs. The Pittsburgh Penguins have been in rough shape over the last month, but they continue to play their best hockey on their home ice. The Penguins should be able to get the job done at home against a team on the ed of a back to back. Give me the Penguins and the PL to shave down the juice.
