______________
The back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions are back in Pittsburgh. The team's plane landed at Pittsburgh International Airport shortly after 1 p.m. Monday.
The Penguins won their fifth title — all of which have been clinched on the road — to tie the Wayne Gretzky-Mark Messier-era Edmonton Oilers for sixth on the all-time list. The Detroit Red Wings in 1997 and '98 were the last champions to defend their title. The Penguins are the first to do it in the salary-cap era.
Patric Hornqvist scored with 1:35 left, and Matt Murray made 27 saves for his second straight shutout as the Penguins became the first team in nearly two decades to repeat as champion with a 2-0 win over the Nashville Predators in Game 6 on Sunday night.
