The Pittsburgh Penguins came to play in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Forward Bryan Rust - who scored two goals in Game 7 versus the Tampa Bay Lightning - got things started with his sixth goal of the postseason, a Penguins rookie record.
Only 1:02 later, Conor Sheary extended the Penguins lead with a pin-point wrister, set up by a beautiful feed from Sidney Crosby.
