Okay, the saving grace here is the Pens being 5-0 in all-time game 7's on the road. The other side of the coin is the Senators prolific number of shots they're getting that the Pens are not.The best-of-7 series is tied 3-3 with Game 7 at Washington on Wednesday. The Capitals would like to repeat their performance from Monday, when they outshot the Penguins 26-18 and 16-9 through the first two periods [Ouch!].
The Capitals have won the past two games after falling behind 3-1 in the series.

The Capitals outshot the Penguins 11-3 in the first.

The Capitals have outshot the Penguins 200-133 this series. … The Penguins are 5-0 all-time in Game 7 on the road.
Game 7 is Wednesday, May 10, in Washington. And as I noted yesterday, the Caps fans and the noise volume is going to be brutal - and, like I said yesterday, I meant brutal in an NHL way - that NHL fans are deeply loyal to their teams and support their teams - I think - in a steadfastly devoted manner.
My pick is the Pens beat the Caps in game 7; final score: 4 - 2. I'm putting a lot of faith in their 5-0 road record.
Ottawa plays in NY tonight, Game 6 with the Senators leading the series 3 - 2.
In this series, the Rangers have lost every game on home ice, which is...really kind of odd. On home ice...you're at home; you should be in the "zone." But to keep this series going, the Rangers know they have to win tonight. Game 7 would be in Ottawa, where the Rangers won their two games.
Tonight, I'm picking the Rangers over The Sens, 3 - 1.
