Crosby: How Penguins respond to sixth loss in a row will 'define our group'

LAS VEGAS -- Just over five minutes of game action had passed, yet it felt as if the Penguins had already dug themselves an insurmountable hole.

That ended up being the case, as they lost, 5-2, to the Golden Knights here at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Thursday night. It marks the Penguins' sixth loss in a row.

Considering Mike Sullivan had to stop practice on Wednesday because the Penguins weren't practicing with enough pace or intensity, you'd think they would have been ready to go right out of the gates for this one.
