Penguins lose consecutive games for 1st time since mid-January
by from on (#1ENR8)
The Pittsburgh Penguins are in an unfamiliar spot.
Having bulldozed their way through the final three months of the regular season and into the playoffs, the Penguins' loss in Game 5 marks the first time since Jan. 15 that they've lost consecutive games.
Ironically, the Tampa Bay Lightning were the ones to deliver the second of back-to-back losses in January as well.
Head coach Mike Sullivan believes his team can bounce back from a rare bit of adversity.
Mike Sullivan: "This is the first time we've been in this position but I know our guys will respond the right way."

Sunday's loss sets up a do-or-die Game 6 in Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.
