Sharks vs. Penguins: Game 5 Live Score, Highlights for 2016 Stanley Cup Final

The Pittsburgh Penguins have a chance to win the Stanley Cup in front of their home fans when they host the San Jose Sharks for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday night.

Since joining the NHL in 1967, the Penguins have won three championships—all on the road. According to Jason Brough of Pro Hockey Talk, a win would mark the first title victory at home for a major league Pittsburgh-based team since baseball's Pittsburgh Pirates won the 1960 World Series.

Overall, the Penguins have a 9-3 record at Consol Energy Center in the 2016 playoffs, including two wins over the Sharks to open the Final.
