Three Things to Track for tonight’s Game 7 between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh (8:00 p.m. ET, NBCSN, NBC Sports app):
- Something You Wouldn’t Expect: In the past six attempts, the Penguins are 0-6 in closing out Game 7s at home when losing Game 6. However, they finished off the Capitals in Game 7 on the road last series after losing Game 6. Not only that, the Senators are 0-5 all time in Game 7s themselves, and this year’s Ottawa squad ended both their prior series in six games.
