The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Nashville Predators 5-3 in Game One of their Stanley Cup final last night last PPG Paints Arena. The Penguins built a 3-0 lead after Nashville appeared to have scored the game’s first goal, but the play was ruled off-side by a coaches challenge. The Predators tied the game in the third period, before Jake Guentzel scored the game-winner with under four minutes remaining in the game. Nick Bonino added an empty-net goal. The Penguins managed only 12 shots on goal in the game, and did not get a single shot on-goal in the second period.
Game Two will be Wednesday at PPG Paints Arena. Face-off is just after 8pm. Pre-game on WISR 680am will be 7:30pm.
