Sidney Crosby Leads Penguins to Back-to-Back Stanley Cups | On This Day in Sports (June 11) #shorts



On June 11, 2017, the Pittsburgh Penguins made NHL history.

They defeated the Nashville Predators 2–0 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final to become the first team in nearly 20 years to win back-to-back championships. After 58 minutes of scoreless hockey, former Predator Patric Hörnqvist scored the Cup-clinching goal with just 1:35 remaining. Carl Hagelin added an empty-netter to seal the deal.

Sidney Crosby was awarded his second straight Conn Smythe Trophy, joining an elite group of back-to-back playoff MVPs.

This win cemented the Penguins as a modern-day dynasty.
