If you've watched a Washington Capitals game during the playoffs, you've probably heard a certain player being referred to as 'Mr. Game 7.'
Justin Williams is the player the announcers are talking about, and so far this postseason, he has nine points in 12 games for the Caps.
Williams will be entering familiar territory Wednesday night, though, as he gets set to suit up for another Game 7, his first as a member of the Caps.
If you're not familiar with Williams' career stats in Game 7s, one tweet perfectly displays why he's called Mr. Game 7.
Of course Williams has seven goals, seven assists and is 7-0 in Game 7s in his NHL career. Coincidence? Surely, but what an incredible coincidence it is.
The last Game 7 Williams played in was in 2014 during the Kings' Stanley Cup season.
June 1st against Chicago, Williams scored a goal in regulation and assisted on the overtime winner to send the Kings to the Cup Final.
Los Angeles played three Game 7s during their 2014 Cup run, and Williams had five points over those three games.
These stats should make Caps fans a little more confident heading into Game 7, even though the team's recent history in the seventh game of a series hasn't been great.
