Kessel scored his first goal of the Stanley Cup Final and added two assists in Thursday's Game 5 win over Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

It was a perfect shot from Kessel, who hadn't scored since Game 5 against the Senators. While he hadn't been finding twine, Kessel has been a threat all postseason, racking up 23 points in 24 games. The sniper has actually surpassed his output from last season's cup-winning run and him and Evgeni Malkin have been flat-out dominant at times. The Penguins are one win away from another Stanley Cup and Kessel is playing a key role once again.
