NHL Update

Tonight the Pittsburgh Penguins are roughly seven to five underdogs in their bid to clinch a second straight NHL crown, a year to the day after doing so with a road win in game 6 last year at San Jose.

The task is to win at Nashville where the home team Predators, like last year’s San Jose Sharks in their first NHL final, are (9-1) in these ‘offs and (12-1) in their last 13 home playoff tilts.

Pittsburgh has clinched all four of their previous titles on the road, almost surely the only team in major North American Sports league’s history to do so.
