The Pittsburgh Penguins became the first team to win a second successive Stanley Cup since 1998 with a 2-0 victory in Game 6 on Sunday in Nashville. And Sidney Crosby became only the third player to win a second successive Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of the playoffs.

The Philadelphia Flyers' Bernie Parent (1974-75) and the Pens' Mario Lemieux (1991-92) were the other back-to-back Conn Smythe winners.

Crosby's 27 playoff points ranked second only to teammate Evgeni Malkin.
