"Stanley Cup® Champions 2017: Pittsburgh Penguins® allows fans to witness the Penguins quest for back-to-back championships like never before with incredible behind the scenes footage and interviews with all their favorite players," said Bill Perrault, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Brand Management, Cinedigm.

The Penguins dispatched two of the best regular season teams in the NHL® - the Columbus Blue Jackets and Washington Capitals - in the first two rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Penguins battled back from a 2-1 series deficit in the Eastern Conference Final against the Ottawa Senators, with Chris Kuntiz's dramatic, double overtime clinching goal in Game 7 to close the series and seal their matchup with the Nashville Predators in the 2017 Stanley Cup® Final. The Penguins never trailed in the series against the Predators and ultimately claimed their second consecutive Stanley Cup® on June 11, 2017 after Patric Hornqvist's late goal in third period of Game 6 in Nashville! The Penguins became the first team since the Detroit Red Wings in the 1997 and 1998 to repeat as Stanley Cup® champions.
