Sharks make dubious history by going winless through 8 games for 2nd straight season

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The San Jose Sharks made some unfavorable history Thursday night, having failed to win any of their first eight games in consecutive seasons after a 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. San Jose is the first team to hold that dubious distinction since the Boston Bruins in the 1960-61 and 1961-62 campaigns. The Sharks are 0-6-2 this season after opening last season 0-10-1. First-year coach Ryan Warsofsky said the team could not allow such failings to become acceptable. Warsofsky also was critical of the lack of carryover in performance from game to game.
