The Washington Capitals managed to force a deciding Game 7 of this Eastern Conference Finals series with a 3-0 triumph at home, but I like Tampa Bay to bounce back and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals.

For the third time in the past four years, the Lightning will play Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals so there's no doubt they know what it's all about. "I think Game 7 is something that everybody looks forward to, at least I do. I take pleasure in playing a Game 7. I think it's one of the most exciting moments in sports," said Lightning defenseman Anton Stralman, who has a 7-1 career record playing in Game 7. "I think you just have to embrace it, really just have fun with it. I think what it's all about. Usually if you have an open mindset, follow the game plan you set up, you are going to enjoy it. You will most of the time also have a good result."

Lightning are 4-0 in their last four games following a loss of three or more goals and 6-1 in their last seven after scoring two goals or fewer in their previous game.
