The Pittsburgh Penguins took a 1-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final over the Nashville Predators with a 5-3 victory. Pittsburgh started hot, scoring 3 goals in the first period and took a 3-0 lead into the first intermission. Nashville’s defense came out tough in the 2nd period and did not allow Pittsburgh to get a shot on goal over the next 37 minutes. This allowed Nashville to eventually tie the game at 3-3 in the 3rd period. But after not getting a shot on goal in 37 minutes, the next shot on goal for Pittsburgh went in. Jake Guentzel fired a shot from just across the blue line that got by Pekka Rinne with just 3:17 remaining on a goal that proved to be a game-winner.
In baseball action, the Tigers defeated the Kansas City Royals 10-7 last night.

The Brewers dropped the first game of a 3-game series against the New York Mets 4-2. The Brewers are still in first place in the NL Central.
