Matt Murray becomes two-time Stanley Cup champion as a rookie

Matt Murray not only made 27 saves for his second straight shutout as the Pittsburgh Penguins became the first team in nearly two decades to repeat as Stanley Cup champions Sunday night. But by doing so, he accomplished something no other goalie in NHL history had done.

Murray, 23, became the first goalie to win not one, but two Stanley Cups as a rookie after being a late-season call up a year ago who didn't play enough games to get that tag removed. That's something neither Patrick Roy, Ken Dryden nor Cam Ward ever managed.
