The Pittsburgh Penguins will be fighting for their postseason life at Amalie Arena Tuesday night after a 4-3 overtime loss at home in the last contest saw the Tampa Bay Lightning take a 3-2 lead in the series. I think the Pens will respond well and take this series to a deciding Game 7 in their own building with a win here.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Pens Mentality - "I believe in my team. I believe in myself, and we can come back to Pittsburgh for sure," Penguins star Evgeni Malkin said after Sunday's defeat. The Pens have not lost back-to-back games since mid-January and the positive attitude in the team will help them get through tonight's test.

2. Previous Games - The Penguins have out-shot the Lightning in each of the five games in the series and put Andrei Vasilevskiy to the test with 34 shots on Sunday. Pittsburgh held both a 2-0 and 3-2 lead in that contest and have been the hotter of the two teams in each game of the series.

3. X-Factor - The Penguins are 12-4 in their last 16 road games. The Lightning are 2-5 in their last seven home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Selection: This is a play on the Pittsburgh Penguins (8*)
