Resurgences, Emergences Fuel Columbus Blue Jackets’ Start:

“WE’RE 0-8. MORAL VICTORIES AREN’T GOING TO HELP US RIGHT NOW.â€

-HEAD COACH JOHN TORTORELLA, October 23rd 2015

On that day, the Columbus Blue Jackets were just recovering from their eighth straight regulation loss, a 3-2 defeat at the hands of the Minnesota Wild. It was the second game with new head coach John Tortorella after former head coach Todd Richards was let go following the seventh disappointment. The Jackets, a fairly new NHL franchise with its inception in 2000, clinched an unenviable spot in the NHL record book, setting a modern-day NHL record (Post WWII), with their eighth consecutive regulation defeat to begin a season. The way they were losing, however, was alarming compared to a competent 3-2 loss. Each contest before, Columbus gave up four-plus goals, and goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky finished the month with 35 total goals given up to go with a .865 save percentage. He’d make just 27 starts the rest of the way due to injury.

the math here seems fuzzy. Also, if you're going to mention the new franchise record in the last paragraph, you ought to tell us what it is. Otherwise, good read.
