The Pittsburgh Penguins skated their way to a fourth Stanley Cup in franchise history, capturing the title exactly seven years to the day after their triumph in 2009. Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby, who finished the postseason with 6-13-19, won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. Defenseman Kris Letang scored the Stanley Cup-winning goal against San Jose in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final and factored on all four of Pittsburgh's game-winning goals during the series. Mike Sullivan, who replaced Mike Johnston behind the Pittsburgh bench Dec. 12, became the sixth head coach in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup after taking over midseason, while Jim Rutherford, who also won the Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006, became the third general manager to capture the trophy with multiple teams.
