PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins have used the experience they gained last year as their guide throughout the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Now with a 2-0 lead against the Nashville Predators in the Stanley Cup Final, they have a chance to use it again.
It was exactly one year ago Thursday when the Penguins defeated the San Jose Sharks 2-1 in overtime at PPG Paints Arena to take a 2-0 lead in the 2016 Stanley Cup Final. Just like this year, they had two days after Game 2 to rest, practice and travel before playing Game 3 at SAP Center.
