Best NHL Playoff Records

Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr and the Penguins won their second successive Cup by making quick work of the Blackhawks, who came into the final riding a record 11 consecutive playoff wins. With their sweep, the Pens matched the mark, which goalie Tom Barrasso also shared with Chicago netminder Ed Belfour, as Lemieux became the second player in NHL history to win back-to-back Smythe trophies. (Flyers goalie Bernie Parent, in 1974 and '75, was the first.)
