The Pittsburgh Penguins are in the middle of their second extended losing streak of the season, dropping their sixth game in a row on Thursday night against the Vegas Golden Knights. It was an ugly start followed by a better effort in the second and third periods that was ultimately too little, too late.
It continues what has been a wildly inconsistent season filled with extreme peaks and valleys.
They started 4-0-1, lost seven in a row, were unbeatable for nearly two months, and now can not seem to do anything right over the past six games.
