Randy’s Free Pick

The Colorado Avalanche are obviously the more trustworthy team that’s proven time and time again they can win in tough venues. The Pittsburgh Penguins entered the break playing horrible hockey, but if there was one team that could have used the break to recharge the batteries, it’s Pittsburgh. This game will tell a lot about where the Penguins are going in the second half of the season. I’ll take a shot with the more favorable price at home.
