The San Jose Sharks have been struggling to keep up with the Vegas Golden Knights for quite some time now. It's been a recurring pattern for years, and it begs the question - who can the Sharks actually compete against? Unfortunately, this past Saturday was no different as the Sharks fell to the Golden Knights in a crushing 7-3 defeat. The game got off to a rough start for the Sharks, with the Golden Knights scoring three goals in the first period alone, leaving the Sharks with a steep hill to climb.
Despite a valiant effort from Mikael Granlund, Nico Sturm, and Luke Kunin who all managed to score goals for the Sharks, it wasn't enough to overcome the Golden Knights' dominance. The Sharks just couldn't seem to find their rhythm, and their record for the month of October continues to be abysmal. It's been a disappointing start to the season for the Sharks, who haven't won a game in October since 2022.
Things didn't go any better for Sharks' goalie Vitek Vanecek, who had a rough night in the net. While he faced a barrage of shots from the Golden Knights, he also made a few costly mistakes that he'd surely like to take back. The first goal of the game was a particularly tough one for Vanecek, as it slipped right between his pads, giving the Golden Knights an early lead. And in the second period, during a power play for the Sharks, Vanecek's hesitation to come out of the net resulted in the Golden Knights scoring another goal.
It was a tough game for the Sharks, who have been struggling to find their footing this season. And unfortunately, things won't be getting any easier for them as they continue their road trip against the Utah Hockey Club and then return home to face the Los Angeles Kings. The Sharks will need to win at least one of these games to avoid the embarrassment of going winless in their first 11 games for the second year in a row.
Last season, the Sharks started off with a record of 0-10-1, tying the second-longest winless streak in NHL history. This year, they risk setting a new record if they fail to win their next game. Their upcoming matchup against the Utah Hockey Club should prove to be a challenging one, as the team has had a hot start to the season but has recently hit a rough patch. The Sharks will also have a chance for redemption against the Los Angeles Kings, who they recently lost to in a close 3-2 game.
The Sharks have been struggling to find the back of the net this season, and their offense could use some help. They've yet to receive a goal from any of their defensemen, and some of their forwards have yet to find their stride. It's been a tough start to the season for the Sharks, but they're determined to turn things around and get back on track. Hopefully, their upcoming games will bring some much-needed wins and boost their confidence moving forward.
