Penguins win the Stanley Cup


The Pittsburgh Penguins have won the Stanley Cup for a third time after a narrow 2-1 Game 7 win over the Detroit Red Wings.

Max Talbot opened the scoring early in the second period and added a second on a two-on-one break midway through the session to help the Penguins to avenge their defeat to the Red Wings in last year's finals.

Jonathan Ericsson pulled a goal back for the home side with just over six minutes remaining in the game but Detroit were unable to prevent Pittsburgh from becoming the first team in 38 years to claim the Stanley Cup with a game seven victory on the road.
