LOS ANGELES -- The Penguins are faster than the Kings.
They also have more experience, and more talent.
And a whole lot more points in the overall standings.
But none of that mattered, at least on this night.
That's why the Penguins have a few other things, too: Specifically, a 2-1 defeat by Los Angeles Wednesday night at Staples Center and their first four-game losing streak of the season.
Instead of trying to catch Washington for first place in the Metropolitan Division, they probably should be more focused on holding off the handful of Metro teams that could overtake them in the near future if they don't begin to win a game occasionally.
