San Jose Sharks Make History with Back-to-Back Season Openers, Acquire Timothy Liljegren

The San Jose Sharks have made NHL history, albeit not in the most flattering light, by becoming the first team to open with nine straight losses in back-to-back seasons. This milestone was achieved as the Sharks continued their challenging start to the 2024-2025 season.

Despite the tough start, the Sharks have recently shown some signs of improvement. They secured wins over the Utah Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Kings in their last two games, marking a positive turn after a dismal beginning.

In a significant roster move, the Sharks have acquired defenseman Timothy Liljegren from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Liljegren joined the team and participated in the morning skate on October 31, 2024, ahead of their game against the Chicago Blackhawks. He addressed the media, sharing his thoughts on his new role with the Sharks.

The Sharks’ upcoming schedule includes a game against the Vancouver Canucks on November 2, 2024. As they look to build on their recent wins, the addition of Liljegren is expected to bolster their defense and contribute to their overall performance.
