LAS VEGAS — The San Jose Sharks are setting the wrong kind of history…again.
The 0-7-2 Sharks lost their ninth-straight to start this season, a 7-3 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.
They’re the first team in NHL history to start back-to-back seasons with nine straight losses.
“It’s embarrassing,” Warsofsky said. “Truly embarrassing.”
Last year’s Sharks started 0-10-1.
Game 10 and 11 is where San Jose really lost the plot last season, dropping back-to-back 10 spots, 10-1 versus the Vancouver Canucks, then 10-2 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

“Tomorrow is a new day. We’re going to get back at it. We’re going to find ways to improve, and we’re going to get our first win in Utah,” alternate captain Mario Ferraro said defiantly.
