Event Statistics

Description

The Penguins had home ice advantage in the series due to their better regular season record. The series began on May 29 and concluded on June 11. The Penguins made their second consecutive Finals appearance, marking the third time in their history they had done this, following their appearances in 1991–1992 and 2008–2009. No team had appeared in consecutive Finals since the latter year, which was a rematch between the Penguins and Red Wings. The Predators made their debut in the Finals. This was the second consecutive season in which a Western Conference team made their first appearance in the Finals; the San Jose Sharks made their Finals debut the year prior. This was the first time in NHL history that two United States–born head coaches faced off against each other in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Result Description

In game six, the game remained scoreless until the final two minutes of the third period when former-Predator Patric Hornqvist scored the game winning goal with 1:35 left in the game. A challenge was made against the goal as the Predators thought goaltender interference was involved, but it was ruled a good goal. Carl Hagelin added an empty net goal to end the game 2–0.
