When the Washington Capitals host the Pittsburgh Penguins to finish their thrilling Eastern Conference semifinal tonight, Alex Ovechkin's third career Game 7 in the NHL playoffs will mark Sidney Crosby's debut in such a setting.

So far, five games were won by a single goal, and the other was decided by only two goals. Three games went to overtime, including Washington's 5-4 victory at Pittsburgh in Game 6 on Monday night.

Ovechkin has 13 points, better than two per game and more than anyone in the NHL has produced in any playoff series since 2003.

Crosby, meanwhile, has 10 points, and Evgeni Malkin eight. The over is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings in Washington and 21-6 in the last 27 meetings between these teams. Get all your NHL playoffs odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
