Kings Defeat Sharks 3-2, Extending San Jose's Winless Streak
The San Jose Sharks remain winless through eight games for the second consecutive season after losing to the Los Angeles Kings in their home opener.
- The Los Angeles Kings secured a 3-0 lead in the first period with goals from Warren Foegele and Jordan Spence, holding off the Sharks' late rally.
- Mikael Granlund scored both of San Jose's goals on the power play, marking his third consecutive game with a power-play goal.
- The Sharks have failed to win any of their first eight games for two seasons in a row, a feat not seen since the early 1960s Boston Bruins.

- Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky criticized the team's inconsistency, urging players to improve their performance and avoid being 'passengers.'
