Another Defeat Piles On
A scoreless first period ended when a scramble along the boards led to an early goal for the home side, and the deficit grew from there. The team has now dropped 13 of its last 14 games dating back to a 3-0 series lead in the opening round of the playoffs.
Historical Low Point
This marks the worst opening stretch in franchise history. The club had previously opened with six straight winless games in both 1999-00 and 2008-09, yet still reached the postseason in those seasons.
Injuries and Roster Strain
A forward signed to a four-year, $36.5 million extension has recorded just two points without a goal. The general manager noted that the club is not built around a single player capable of carrying games alone and stressed the need for collective effort moving forward.
