The team had recorded its first shutout, attained by rookie goaltender Arturs Irbe, and Rob Gaudreau scored the first hat-trick in franchise history. Head coach George Kingston, the first head coach in the history of the Sharks, was fired following this tumultuous season and replaced by Kevin Constantine. It was the last season the Sharks played in the Cow Palace in Daly City.

Offseason

The Sharks chose Mike Rathje with their first-round pick in the entry draft, third overall.

Regular season

The Sharks allowed the most goals (414) and most even-strength goals (286) of all 24 teams during the regular season. They were also shut out a league-high 6 times[1] and tied the Edmonton Oilers and Ottawa Senators for the fewest power-play goals scored, with 66.[1]

On Tuesday, November 17, 1992, Arturs Irbe recorded the first shutout in Sharks history, as San Jose blanked the Los Angeles Kings 6-0 at home.[2]

On Thursday, December 3, 1992, in a 7-5 home loss against the Hartford Whalers, Rob Gaudreau scored the first hat trick in Sharks history. In that same game, Kelly Kisio and Johan Garpenlov each recorded 4 points (1 goal, 3 assists).[3]

In 2004, ESPN ranked the 1992-93 Sharks as the sixth worst team in the first 25 years of the ESPN era.
