Stenberg's Shootout Goal Ends Sharks' Five-Game Skid

Overview

• The San Jose Sharks beat the New York Islanders 3-2 in an eight-round shootout, ending San Jose's five-game losing streak Monday night.
• Ivar Stenberg tied the game in the first on a Tyler Toffoli deflection and then scored the lone successful shootout attempt to reach six goals and share the NHL rookie lead.
• Tyler Toffoli finished with a goal and an assist, recording his first goal in eight games.
• Yaroslav Askarov made 30 saves and Ilya Sorokin stopped 37 shots, with both goalies keeping seven consecutive shootout rounds scoreless before Stenberg's winner.
• The game turned physical late in the second when fights produced four five-minute majors, Victor Eklund scored on a power play after an Alexander Wennberg penalty, and the teams now head into their next games with San Jose hosting Pittsburgh and the Islanders visiting Los Angeles.
