Penguins repeat as champs under cloud

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Standing by the side of the net, Patric Hornqvist bounced the puck off Pekka RInne's back and into the net following a missed point shot by Justin Schultz with 1:35 remaining in the third period, providing the winning goal as the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Nashville Predators 2-0 in a controversial Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final.

The win secured Pittsburgh's second straight championship. Thanks to one of the more bizarre Cup-clinching goals in recent league history, Pittsburgh took the series 4-2 and became the first team to win back-to-back titles in the salary cap era.
