It marks the second straight year that the Penguins led the NHL in Google's annual Search Trends list.

Released as part of Google's "Year in Search 2017," the list highlights the people and topics that captured the world's attention during the year. Google analyzes categories that had a sustained spike in interest and excluded queries with small search volume. Globally, the top five trending Google searches for 2017 were Hurricane Irma, iPhone 8, iPhone X, Matt Lauer and Meghan Markle.
