Islanders Mistakes Allow Skid to Continue as Sharks Win in Shootout

The San Jose Sharks defeated the New York Islanders 3-2 in an eight-round shootout on Monday night, snapping their five-game losing streak while extending the Islanders' skid to four games. Rookie Ivar Stenberg netted the decisive shootout winner against Ilya Sorokin, who made 36 saves in the loss. Stenberg and Tyler Toffoli scored regulation goals for the Sharks, while Ben Hutton and Victor Eklund scored for New York.

San Jose goaltender Yaroslav Askarov stopped 29 shots in regulation and overtime before turning away all eight Islanders shooters in the shootout. Critical New York errors proved costly, including penalties that erased a four-minute power play and a defensive turnover that led to San Jose's first goal.
