The Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins square off in what should be an exciting Game 7 on Wednesday. Here’s all the information you need to watch, including by live stream. 

It’s the moment everyone has been waiting for. The Washington Capitals have overcome a 3-1 series deficit against the Pittsburgh Penguins to force a decisive Game 7 at the Verizon Center on Wednesday. While the Caps own the momentum of the series after a 5-2 win in Game 6, Pittsburgh is fighting for their playoff lives. Which team will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals?

The Capitals have to be the favorites going into Wednesday. Over the past four periods, they’ve outscored the Penguins 7-2. Andre Burakovsky has been the star of the show, notching three goals over the past two games. A swap in the lineup with Alex Ovechkin has done him well and has made the Caps that much deeper.

On the other end of the ice, the Penguins have lost two straight games. They’ve looked very lethargic over their past two games, which is very concerning. It’s up to Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel to get their offense going. Marc-Andre Fleury must recover after having a dreadful last four periods.
