Penguins, Red Wings advance to Stanley Cup Finals
While both teams led their conference finals series 3-0, there was no sweep for either the Penguins or the Red Wings. Lucky for both teams, the 33-year trend of teams coming back from a 3-0 deficit appears to have likely been broken as well. On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Philadelphia Flyers in 5 games to take the Eastern Conference Finals and advance to play for the Stanley Cup. One night later, the Detroit Red Wings finally put away the Dallas Stars with a 4-1 road win. After taking a 3-0 series lead, Detroit lost Game #4 @ Dallas and Game #5 in Detroit, but with Monday’s win, the Red Wings take the series in 6 games.
