NHL Eastern Final Series Notes

The NHL Eastern Conference final series continues tonight in Pittsburgh as the Tampa Bay Lightning, holding a one game to none series lead visit the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Pittsburgh has lost 5 straight Eastern Conference/NHL semi-final games, having been swept by the Boston Bruins in the 2013 NHL Eastern Conference final.

Meanwhile the Lightning have won an astounding 4 straight road games in this round over the last two seasons. Last year they won games 2, 5, and 7 at New York’s Madison Square Garden vs the Rangers after dropping the series opener at that esteemed venue.
