The Latest: Penguins a Game 6 win from defending Cup title

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The Latest on Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final (all times local):

4 p.m.

Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins are a win from becoming the NHL’s first team to win consecutive Stanley Cup titles in nearly two decades.

To do so, they’ll need to beat the Predators at Nashville in Game 6 of a series in which the home team has yet to lose. The Penguins were outscored a combined 9-2 in losing Games 3 and 4 at Nashville before rebounding with a 6-0 win at Pittsburgh on Thursday.

The Detroit Red Wings are the most recent team to win consecutive Stanley Cups in 1997 and `98.
