The Pittsburgh Penguins are just one win away from capturing the franchise's fifth Stanley Cup championship, and third in the past decade. They hold a 3-2 series lead but will be taking on the Nashville Predators at home in a game that the Predators must win to stay alive. A win for Nashville forces a Game 7 of this series and keeps hope alive for the team's first-ever NHL Championship. Here's the latest on the Penguins vs. Predators Game 6 including matchup odds, as well as how to watch the game live on TV or streaming online.

Game 6 preview

The Penguins will try to get a road win in this series tonight at Nashville, something neither squad has been able to do yet in the Stanley Cup Finals.

The previous game in Pittsburgh saw the Penguins capture a 6-0 home win to go up 3-2 in the series. They're looking to become the first Stanley Cup champions to repeat since the Detroit Red Wings back in 1998.

The Penguins captured the trophy last year and also in 2009. They also repeated as champions in 1991 and 1992. Many believe that should Pittsburgh win tonight, the MVP will be awarded to Evgeni Malkin for his performance over the series. Nashville has never had the honor of hoisting one Stanley Cup, though, and wants to keep their hopes alive.

While Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne was benched after just one period in the previous game, he'll still get the start at home tonight. Rinne sports a 9-1 record at Bridgestone Arena, giving the Predators an advantage.

They'll be fighting for their playoff lives and for the chance to steal away the Stanley Cup in Pittsburgh for Game 7.

Odds makers have given Nashville the slight edge with a money line price of -135 to -140 at several sports books. The visiting Penguins are +115 to +125 underdogs to capture a rare road win tonight. The over/under total is set at 5-1/2 goals for the complete game.
