Sharks facing historically bad season in one-goal games originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
LOS ANGELES — The San Jose Sharks just can’t win one-goal games.
They lost another last night to the Los Angeles Kings 4-3. Their record in one-goal games is now 5-6-8, “good” for an NHL-worst .263 One-Goal Game Winning %.
“We’re there every game. Can’t get wins. It’s frustrating for everyone,” San Jose Sharks alternate captain Nick Bonino said. “Tonight was just a lot of good things and one or two bad things and we lost.”
At this rate, this would be only the second time in franchise history that the Sharks finish last in One-Goal Game Winning %.
In 1992-93, their second season in existence, San Jose went 5-21 – there were ties back then – for a league-worst .192 One-Goal Game Winning %.

Those “one or two bad things” that Bonino is referring to, a staple of the San Jose Sharks season, befell the Sharks after they tied the game at two apiece midway through the third period.
