The 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs between the Pittsburg Penguins and Nashville Predators have been a thrilling roller-coaster ride for hockey fans across the nation.
The Penguins, playing at home for the first two games of the series, took the first game in a 5-3 victory over the Predators. The Predators showed tremendous resiliency in the game after finding themselves trailing 3-0 and rallying to tie the game at 3-3. However, Pittsburg fell behind once forward Jake Guentzel scored with 3:17 remaining in the third period. Guentzel could have initially been a healthy scratch for the Penguins, but head coach Mike Sullivan gave Guentzel the call.
