Pittsburgh Penguins claimed their fourth Stanley Cup after beating San Jose Sharks 3-1 to give then a 4-2 series win in the NHL play-offs.

Bran Dumoulin, Kris Letang and Patric Hornqvist were on target for the Penguins, with Logan Couture replying.

Penguins captain Sidney Crosby made two assists and was named most valuable player of the play-offs.

"Everyone has a part in this and it feels really good to win the last game of the season," said Crosby, 28.

As in their previous wins, Penguins sealed the Cup on the road after losing game five at home on Thursday.
