Sharks Set NHL Record With Historic Losing Streak To Begin Season

San Jose Sharks become the first team in history to start an NHL season with 11 consecutive losses.

The San Jose Sharks made history for all the wrong reasons on Saturday night, as they fell to the New York Rangers 3-2, extending their losing streak to 11 games to start the season.

The Sharks are now the first team in NHL history to start a season with 11 consecutive losses, breaking the previous record of 10 set by the Washington Capitals in 1974-75.

What Went Wrong?

There are a number of factors that have contributed to the Sharks' dismal start to the season.

• Injuries: The Sharks have been hit hard by injuries, with several key players missing significant time.
• Poor goaltending: The Sharks' goaltending has been shaky, with Martin Jones and Aaron Dell both struggling to find their form.
• Lack of chemistry: The Sharks have a number of new players on the roster this season, and they have yet to develop any chemistry.

What's Next?

The Sharks will look to end their losing streak on Tuesday night when they host the Los Angeles Kings.

It will be a tough task, as the Kings are one of the top teams in the NHL.

However, the Sharks will need to find a way to turn things around if they want to avoid another historically bad season.

Additional Notes

The Sharks' losing streak is the longest in the NHL since the Buffalo Sabres lost 10 straight games in 2014-15.

The Sharks are now 0-11-0 this season, with a goal differential of -24.

The Sharks have been outscored 43-19 this season.
