Winger Jake Guentzel and center Evgeni Malkin are consensus favorites to win the Conn Smythe Trophy should the Penguins finish off the Nashville Predators and win the Stanley Cup.

A group of hockey experts led by Sportsnet.ca’s Elliotte Friedman, however, is floating a third possibility — a combined entry of goalies Marc-Andre Fleury and Matt Murray.
