The Pittsburgh Penguins are hefty -200 favorites compared to the Ottawa Senators in what’s going to be their second Game 7 in a row these playoffs.
If you’re thinking fatigue might play a significant factor in this particular one, you might want to hang on a moment.
At the post-lockout age since 2006, teams coming off a Game 7 in the previous series are actually 7-5-2 (56.8%) in Game 7s in the following series. (Both compels are because teams facing each other were coming from a Game 7 on 2 events.)
That is fairly impressive under draining conditions like the NHL playoffs and in addition, it indicates it’s not really that rare.
We have seen 39 series go to Game 7s because 2006 and 15 of these — or almost 40 percent — have been followed closely by another Game 7 series.
And in case you’re wondering, teams are 17-13-9 (57 percent) in the next series following a Game 7 while home teams are 168-70 (58.4% ) in Game 7s going back to 1939.
Here is an additional Game 7 trend to consider before you place your bet tonight: the Pens are 0-7 at home in Game 7s in franchise history after losing Game 6.
In case those amounts left you dizzy, then please wait a couple of minutes before placing your Game 7 wager.
May puck fortune be with you.
