Los Angeles has won two Game 7s in the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs, each on the road and each in convincing fashion. The Kings defeated the San Jose Sharks (http://sharks.nhl.com/) 5-1 to complete a comeback from a 3-0 series deficit in the Western Conference First Round, then knocked off the Anaheim Ducks (http://ducks.nhl.com/) 6-2 in the second round to advance to the conference final.

This is the seventh time this spring the Kings will be playing an elimination game; they've won each of the first six. Home teams have won 59 percent of the 155 Game 7s in NHL history (91-64), but visiting teams have thrived in recent years. In these playoffs, road teams are 5-1 in Game 7s and are 17-11 since 2004.
Los Angeles is 6-4 in Game 7s and has won three in a row in the past two years. The Kings are 4-3 on the road, including 2-0 this year.
