A goal by Patric Hornqvist with 1:35 remaining in regulation proved to be the game-winner, and Carl Hagelin (Michigan) added an empty-net goal to lift Pittsburgh to a 2-0 win tonight over the host Nashville Predators. The Penguins, who won the series in six games, become the first repeat NHL champion since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997 and 1998.
