Conn Smythe Winner:

Stanley Cup Champions:
Pittsburgh Penguins 
This is Pittsburgh's 4th total Stanley Cup Championship, and their first since 2009. Prior to that, their other two Cup titles were back-to-back in 1991 & 1992, when they defeated the Minnesota North Stars in 6 games and the Chicago Blackhawks in a 4-game sweep, respectively. Mario Lemieux was the Conn Smythe Trophy winner in both of those seasons. Overall, it is their 5th trip to the Cup Final, where they now have a series record of 4-1, their only loss coming in 2008 to the Detroit Red Wings, who they got revenge on the very next season.
For the San Jose Sharks, it was their very first trip to the Cup Final in their 24th season (25th year). They have had some very good regular seasons in recent history, but have had some quick exits when it came to the playoffs. Their best season came in 2008-09 when they won the Presidents' Trophy with a record of 53-18-11 for 117 points, but they lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Anaheim Ducks, the team with the lowest point total (91) among all playoff teams that year.
