The Nashville Predators first Stanley Cup appearance.
Pittsburgh Penguins second straight Stanley Cup appearance. They previously won the Stanley Cup in 2016.
This is the Penguins first back-to-back Cup victory since they won in 1991 and 1992
As it was during the 2008 Stanley Cup finals when the sale of octopus was banned to fans from Michigan, the city of Pittsburgh banned the sale of catfish to residents of Tennessee in an effort to discourage Predators fans from throwing them onto the ice.
Penguins' first Stanley Cup win to not coincide with the theatrical release year of a movie featuring an official Disney princess, that is if you only count the animated movies. In the other years when the Penguins won the cup, the movies were: Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Princess and The frog, and Moana.
