2017 STANLEY CUP FINAL TO START MONDAY
The 2017 Stanley Cup Final will begin Monday, May 29, when the Penguins host the Predators in Game 1 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.

The Penguins are making their second consecutive trip to the Stanley Cup Final, while the Predators are making the first appearance in franchise history. Since the Stanley Cup came under sole control of the NHL after the 1925-26 season, the 2017 Stanley Cup Final will mark the eighth time that a team making consecutive trips to the Final is facing a first-time finalist, and first since the Red Wings defeated the Capitals in 1998.
