Stanley Cup Final 2017: Predictions for Penguins and Predators in 2018

The parade for the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins will be held Wednesday in the City of Champions, and it is one that is well-earned by head coach Mike Sullivan's team.

The Penguins became the first back-to-back champions in the NHL since the Detroit Red Wings accomplished the feat in 1997-98, and the Penguins could be well-positioned to make a run at a third straight Stanley Cup in 2018.

We are not predicting they will make it since there are so many obstacles to overcome during the course of the season, but there's no reason the Penguins won't be able to have another strong showing in the 2017-18 season.
