Hello all. It’s hockey nerd time again. With our Penguins facing a winner-take-all Game 7 tonight at Madison Square Garden, I thought it would be an appropriate time to take a gander at our record in deciding games.
The Pens’ Game 7 record? A robust 10-5, including a rather remarkable 6-0 on the road. We’re 3-0 in Game 7’s under Mike Sullivan, including a road triumph over Washington during the 2017 Second Round.
To digress, Game 7’s have provided some of the most memorable moments and impassioned performances in franchise history. Who can forget Jaromir Jagr’s courageous two-assist effort against New Jersey during the ‘99 Eastern Conference Quarter-Finals when he could barely skate due to a chronically sore groin?
