It’s the deciding game of this guelling conference semi-final with the winner moving forward. This series has swung one way, then another, and has witnessed endless action from start to finish with neither team taking a backward step.

What has been clear is that there is very little between these teams and dispite some outstanding shot stopping by the goaltenders, both sides have had trouble contianing the other. That is highlighted by the fact that at least five goals (twice) have been scored in each of the six games and besides game four, the remaining five games has seen the game winner come out on top by just one goal difference.

Some will be calling for a tight game here, but in reality these two teams don’t play that way, especially against each other. When these two teams hook up the ‘Over’ is 10-2-1 the last thirteen. In the Nations Capital the ‘Over’ is 11-2-1. Finally, Washington is 21-5 ‘Over’ after allowing 2+ goals in 3rd period last game.Pittsburgh is 12-2 Over after 2 straight contests where both teams scored 3 goals or more this season.
