Penguins on the warm West Coast, battling travel fatigue

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Penguins are spending the week more than 2,000 miles from home, and the weather certainly makes it feel that way.

While the temperatures hovered in single digits back in Pittsburgh, it was 70 and sunny in Southern California Wednesday.

But for as nice as the change of weather might be, traveling that far also brings its own set of challenges. The Penguins will play two games this week starting at 10 p.m. local time, with no morning skates the day of.

To combat any sort of travel fatigue or jet lag, the team arrived in Los Angeles Monday and practiced at the Honda Center Tuesday.
