Pittsburgh Penguins

The NHL hasn’t seen a club win back to back titles in 20 years, but the Penguins are on the verge of snapping that drought. The Penguins push in this year’s postseason hasn’t been as impressive as the one the Golden State Warriors has put on in the NBA, but Pittsburgh has appeared dominant in each and every step of the way. However, the Penguins looked the most dominant in Game 5, when they delivered 7-0 massacre against Ottawa on home turf. No doubt the spectacle was well-received by Pittsburgh fans, and now Ottawa is looking to avenge that humbling loss in Game 6.

Ottawa Senators

The Senators will do their best to stretch this series to 7-games. Unfortunately, even if they do make it to Game 7, it seems unlikely that Ottawa will be able to upset the Penguins in Pittsburgh. Granted, the Senators did pick up a win on the road this Monday, but since the Penguins just put on a massacre, it stands to reason that the momentum will be on their side. Nevertheless, the Senators will do all they can to keep their season alive.
