The Pittsburgh Penguins forced a seventh and deciding game in the Stanley Cup final by virtue of a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings last night–the Pens cashed in at -130 and the Total went Under 5.5.

History is not on the Penguins’ side, as the last time a road team won a championship Game 7 in the MLB, NBA or NHL was back in 1979 when the Pittsburgh Pirates, ironically enough, won the World Series in Baltimore.

Home teams have gone 18-0 in championship Game 7s.

Pittsburgh is +170 and Detroit is -200, the Total is set at 5.5.
