TORONTO -- The Penguins' recent seven-game losing streak that ended on Wednesday, obviously, wasn't easy to endure for the players in the locker room.
For a team with Stanley Cup aspirations, slipping toward the bottom of the standings this early in the season could have completely derailed their mindset and energy for the game, but they're making sure that won't happen, no matter what.
Following morning skate at Scotiabank Arena here in Toronto on Friday, Jason Zucker was asked if the Penguins' performance on Wednesday against the Capitals was somewhat similar to their performance during several of the losses during the losing streak.
