The Pittsburgh Penguins were due for a shot on goal, and Jake Guentzel certainly gave them one.

Guentzel scored the eventual game-winning goal late in the third period, beating Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne with 3:17 remaining to give the Penguins a 4-3 lead en route to a 5-3 victory in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night.

It was Pittsburgh's first shot on goal in exactly 37 minutes, snapping a drought that included the first shot-less period by a team in a Cup Final since the league started tracking the statistic in the 1957-58 season.

Speaking of droughts, Guentzel's winner was his first goal since Game 6 of the Penguins' second-round series against the Washington Capitals.
