NASHVILLE — They say dynasties don’t exist anymore. And maybe they are right. Maybe no team will win four straight Stanley Cups like the New York Islanders did back in the day.
But what the Pittsburgh Penguins achieved in back-to-back years is pretty special.
Rookie goalie Matt Murray recorded his second straight shutout and Patric Hornqvist scored with 95 seconds remaining in the third period, as the Penguins defeated the Nashville Predators 2-0 in Game 6 to win their second consecutive Stanley Cup.
It was the first time that a team has repeated as champions in almost 20 years.
