Why you have to watch: These are two teams trying to make history. If the Penguins win the Stanley Cup, they become the first repeat champions of the salary-cap era. If the Predators prevail, they would win the first championship in franchise history and would be the NHL's first No. 16 seed to pull it off. ... It's also a fascinating matchup. The Predators have the best defense in the league, led by P.K. Subban and Roman Josi. Pittsburgh's defense has been crushed by injury and is missing its best player, in Kris Letang.
