Lightning vs. Penguins 2016 live stream: Time, TV schedule and how to watch Game 7 online

How to watch Game 7 between Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh.

Don Wright-USA TODAY Sports

It will take one final game to decide the winner of the Eastern Conference Final. The Penguins and Lightning will face off in Game 7 tonight, which is set for puck drop at 8 p.m. on NBCSN.

Scouting the Lightning

The Lightning were held to just 11 shots on goal in the first two periods of Game 6 and they still have yet to outshoot the Penguins in a game. Putting up 20 shots in the third period was a start, but the comeback came too little too late to make a difference. Late goals were once again an issue in Game 6 as they were for the previous game, sucking any potential life out of the Lightning. Tampa Bay will have one last chance to rectify their mistakes, or they’ll be headed home.

Scouting the Penguins

Head coach Mike Sullivan went right back to Matt Murray in Game 6, a move that paid off as the young netminder turned away 29 shots and 18 in the final period alone. The big guns of Sidney Crosby, Phil Kessel and Kris Letang all contributed with big goals that had the Penguins up 3-0 heading into the third. Adding to Pittsburgh's Game 6 success was allowing the Lightning just one power play through the game, giving Tampa Bay no chance to get back into it until the game was well over.
