Description
This is Pittsburgh's second consecutive Finals appearance, after defeating the San Jose Sharks in six games the previous season, and sixth appearance overall. The Penguins did not make any major transactions during the off-season nor regular season, instead signing head coach Mike Sullivan to a three-year extension. However, following a season-ending injury to Kris Letang, Pittsburgh acquired defencemen Ron Hainsey and Mark Streit via trades.
Pittsburgh earned 111 points (50 wins, 21 losses, and 11 overtime losses) during the regular season to finish second in the Metropolitan Division and second overall among playoff teams. Center and team captain Sidney Crosby led the club in points with 89, finishing second in the League, and led the club and League in goal scoring with 44 goals during the regular season. Teammate Phil Kessel led the team in assists with 47.
In the playoffs, the Penguins defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets in five games, eliminated the Presidents' Trophy-winning Washington Capitals for a second consecutive year, this time in seven games, and edged the Ottawa Senators in seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Result Description
During the first period, the Predators received their first lead in a Finals game when Pontus Aberg went around Olli Maatta on a single effort to score his second of the playoffs. The Penguins tied it with 3:24 left in the first period when Jake Guentzel's shot sneaked in for his eleventh of the playoffs. After a scoreless second period in which the Predators took twice as many shots as the Penguins, Pittsburgh ignited in the third period, scoring three goals in 3:18. The first goal was by Guentzel who became the first rookie since Dino Ciccarelli to score twelve goals in a single playoff season (Ciccarelli scored 14 during his rookie season). The next two goals were scored 15 seconds apart and also prompted Predators head coach Peter Laviolette to replace goaltender Pekka Rinne with Juuse Saros. The Penguins stopped the Predators' six shots in the final period to win Game 2 4–1
