News about Reilly Smith

The San Jose Sharks were bad in 2022-23, but nothing could have prepared them for the ferocious ineptitude they would see in the early stages of this season. Not only did the team lose 10-2 to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night in San Jose, but the loss was also the second straight game in which the Sharks gave double digits in goals. And, if that's worse, they tied an NHL record with their 11th straight loss as they fell to 0-10-1 on the year. In 2021-22, only three other NHL teams have lost their first 11 games: the 1943-19 Arizona Coyotes, the 2017-18 Arizona Coyotes, and the Coyotes. The Boston Bruins were the first team to score 10 or more goals in a row. On Thursday, the Sharks lost 10-1 to the Vancouver Canucks.
