Game 6 recap
Star Tribune's three stars
1. Matt Murray, Pittsburgh: Finished with 27 saves for his second consecutive shutout.
2. Pekka Rinne, Nashville: Made 27 saves and didn't succumb until 1:35 left in the third period.
3. Matt Cullen, Pittsburgh: In maybe his final game, he was gigantic on the Penguins' 4-for-4 penalty kill.
By the numbers
213 Penguins games since the start of 2015-16 season.
38-16 Home-team record in the Stanley Cup Final since 2009.
19-4 Combined home record by the Penguins and Predators this postseason.
21-7 Murray's record over his playoff career.
