Penguins lose consecutive games for 1st time since mid-January

The Pittsburgh Penguins are in an unfamiliar spot.

Having bulldozed their way through the final three months of the regular season and into the playoffs, the Penguins' loss in Game 5 marks the first time since Jan. 15 that they've lost consecutive games.

Ironically, the Tampa Bay Lightning were the ones to deliver the second of back-to-back losses in January as well.

Head coach Mike Sullivan believes his team can bounce back from a rare bit of adversity.

Sunday's loss sets up a do-or-die Game 6 in Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.
