The victory marked the Penguins' eighth in these playoffs at home and 16th consecutive inside Mellon Arena without a loss, a streak dating to an overtime loss to San Jose in late February.

Their 12-2 record through three rounds also marked a franchise high; the 1992 club and captain Lemieux won their final 11 in a row, but entered the Finals with a 12-5 record through the then-Wales Conference Finals.
