[[File:Patric Hornqvist 2017-06-11 1.jpg|thumb|right|upright=.8|[[Patric Hörnqvist]] scored the [[Stanley Cup]]-clinching goal in Game 6.]]
The game remained scoreless until the final two minutes of the third period when former Predator [[Patric Hörnqvist|Patric Hornqvist]] scored with 1:35 left in the game. Nashville challenged for goaltender interference, but the on-ice ruling was upheld. [[Carl Hagelin]] added an empty net goal with 15 seconds remaining whilst the [[Pittsburgh Penguins|Penguins]] would win their second consecutive Stanley Cup becoming the first since the [[Detroit Red Wings|Red Wings]] did it against the [[1997 Stanley Cup Finals|Flyers]] and the [[1998 Stanley Cup Finals|Capitals]] in [[1997 Stanley Cup playoffs|1997]] and [[1998 Stanley Cup playoffs|1998]] respectively. Sidney Crosby was awarded the [[Conn Smythe Trophy]] as MVP of the playoffs for the second consecutive season.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.sportingnews.com/nhl/news/stanley-cup-final-2017-penguins-vs-predators-game-6-live-updates-highlights-video-score/f00eiar0p2c71ne5u7dbik8dc|title=Pittsburgh Penguins win Stanley Cup; defeat Nashville Predators for back-to-back titles|work=Sporting News |date=June 11, 2017|access-date=June 12, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/pittsburgh-penguins-nashville-predators-game-6-recap/c-289884970|title=Penguins repeat Stanley Cup with Game 6 win against Predators|last=Stanley|first=Robby|publisher=NHL Enterprises, L.P.|date=June 11, 2017|website=NHL.com|access-date=June 14, 2017}}</ref>
During the second period, a [[Glossary of ice hockey terms#Q|quick whistle]] prevented a Predators' scoring chance that almost certainly would have resulted in a goal. Referee [[Kevin Pollock]] thought Matt Murray had covered a Filip Forsberg shot, but the puck was, in fact, loose in the goal crease, when [[Colton Sissons]] tapped it in. <ref>{{cite news|work=USA Today|title=Stanley Cup Final controversy: Predators' goal waved off after quick whistle|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2017/06/11/predators-goal-called-off-whistle-colton-sissons-stanley-cup-final/102764362/|date=June 11, 2017|access-date=June 12, 2017}}</ref>
