LAS VEGAS -- The Penguins' longest road trip of the season is in its final hours.
And while players and staff no doubt are looking forward to returning home -- even if they'll have to dig their vehicles out of the snow when they arrive -- Mike Sullivan said after the team's optional game-day skate that he does not believe the final game of an extended trip poses any particular challenge for clubs.
"Every night is a challenge," he said. "That's just the nature of the sport. I'm not sure if it's any different whether it's the last game of the trip or the first game on the trip.
