The Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins Face Off in a Game Seven
The Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins Face Off in a Game SevenThe Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins have had a variety of different game in this series but now it will all come down to this.


Bet Phoenix is the best place to wager on NHL playoff hockey. From round one to the Stanley Cup, Bet Phoenix has all of the great wagering opportunities and NHL Odds for the playoffs.

The Lightning won each of the last two games while facing elimination, coming back from a 3-1 series deficit to tie the best-of-seven first-round series at three games apiece.

Game 7 is Wednesday night in Pittsburgh, and this time—for the first time this postseason—the Penguins will know that a loss means the end of their season.

The Lightning haven’t even had to get into too much of a battle in winning the past two games at Consol Energy Center. In winning Games 2 and 5 there, Tampa Bay outscored the Penguins 13-3.

During a playoff season in which the road teams have won more often than those at home, will the venue matter? It hasn’t over the history of the Penguins’ franchise. They are 2-5 in Game 7s at home—they’ve won all five they’ve had on the road—including losing 5-2 to Montreal in Game 7 of the second round last season, the final game ever played at the Civic Arena.

Only a handful of Tampa Bay players have experience playing in a Game 7. Pittsburgh has been in three over the past two postseasons, including winning both en route to taking the Stanley Cup in 2009.

Pittsburgh’s power play ranked 25th in the NHL during the regular season— and it got worse as the season went on. But the unit’s quarterback, defenseman Kris Letang, shrugged those numbers off.

With the game on the line, the surprising Tampa Bay Lightning get the job done and advance in the NHL Playoffs.
