They went on to beat the Rangers in five games. In the second round the Pens defeated the Washington Capitals, the winners of the Presidents' Trophy, in six games. The team then played in their first Eastern Conference Finals since 2013 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

In the Finals, the Penguins defeated the San Jose Sharks in six games to win the franchise's fourth league title.
