It's a Penguins-Predators Stanley Cup Final.

Pittsburgh defeated the Ottawa Senators 3-2 in double overtime of Game 7 on Chris Kunitz's one-timer winner to advance to the main event. The defending champs are four wins away from repeating.

Sidney Crosby set up the series-winning goal, and it was Kunitz's second tally of the game, after going more than 30 contests without a goal. Kunitz added an assist, and it was his first three-point game of the season.

The Penguins outshot the Senators 42-29, and had a 71-60 advantage in shot attempts.

Goaltender Craig Anderson was the best Senator on the night, stopping 39-of-42 shots, but Ottawa's magical playoff run is over. And what a run it was.

Pittsburgh will host Nashville in Game 1 on Monday night at 8 p.m. ET.
