On this date in Penguins history: Pens put Nashville on the brink with 6-0 win in SCF

Six years ago today, the Penguins won a huge Game 5 in the 2017 Stanley Cup Final, beating the Predators 6-0 in the pivotal game to go ahead in the series with a 3-2 lead.

The Pens headed back to Pittsburgh with a tied series, having been up 2-0, but lost both Game 3 and Game 4 in front of a raucous crowd in Nashville.

Game 5 was the big game to see who would put the other team on the brink of elimination and for the Penguins, they took an early lead and never looked back.
