Saturday night, the Predators will try and rebound at home to win their first game in the Stanley Cup final and cut the Penguins' series lead to 2-1.

Pittsburgh, on the other hand, can move one win away from winning back-to-back Cups with a victory in Smashville.

While the first game of the series was close, the Penguins made sure the second wasn't as they scored three times in the third period to pull away for the win.

Ahead of Game 3, Preds head coach Peter Laviolette announced a couple of changes to his team's lineup.

While they are minor changes, any change in the Cup final is significant, and it's also significant for another reason that will hit home for Leafs fans.

With Parenteau playing in Game 3, a former Leaf is now guaranteed to have his name engraved on the Cup for the second straight year.

As per NHL.com, a player must play at least 41 regular season games with the team that wins the Cup or one game in the Stanley Cup final to get his name engraved on the Mug.

After Game 3, Parenteau and Kessel will both meet those requirements, meaning another Leaf will have his name engraved on the Cup when it's all said and done.
