Following Monday night's 3-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks, the Pittsburgh Penguins are one victory away from capturing the Stanley Cup.
Behind goals from Ian Cole, Evgeni Malkin and Eric Fehr, the Eastern Conference champions extended their lead to 3-1. They can capture their first title in seven years when they host Game 5 on Thursday night.
According to WhoWins, NHL teams have protected a 3-1 lead 90.1 percent of the time. The odds of a comeback diminish in the Stanley Cup Final, where nobody has erased such a deficit when needing to take Game 7 on the road.
