Ignoring win order; considering site order: The team playing Game 1 @ H (Tampa Bay) has the following best-of-7 playoff series and games record through the 2015 NBA and NHL Semifinals:
series record, all best-of-7 sports, all rounds: 856-425 (.668)
series record, all best-of-7 sports, Finals round: 165-84 (.663)
series record, NHL only, all rounds: 407-228 (.641)
series record, NHL only, Finals round: 55-20 (.733)
Game 1 record, all best-of-7 sports, all rounds: 853-428 (.666)
Game 1 record, all best-of-7 sports, Finals round: 168-81 (.675)
Game 1 record, NHL only, all rounds: 409-226 (.644)
Game 1 record, NHL only, Finals round: 54-21 (.720)
These records are drawn from the applicable 1281 best-of-7 NHL, NBA, and
MLB series played through the 2015 NBA and NHL Semifinals. Note in
general that the greater the number of games or series fitting a
particular situation, the greater the significance of the corresponding
winning fraction:
For example, 0.800 is far more likely to come closer to the true winning
fraction in a given situation when the corresponding win-loss record is
400-100 rather than 4-1.
SERIES NOTES:

the 2014-15 NHL regular season, the Tampa Bay Lightning finished six

Lightning, and the 83rd for the Chicago Blackhawks. In best-of-7 NHL
playoff series, the Tampa Bay Lightning have an all-rounds series record
