The San Jose Sharks welcome the New York Islanders into SAP Center.

Ivar Stenberg and Tyler Toffoli scored, and the Sharks won 3-2 in the shootout!

I apologize for the short article here, will update in a couple hours. I had to take my dog Mushu to the ER right before the game (she’s okay!), will watch the game and add more shortly.

Sharks tools

Period 1

Hutton goal: Gotta re-watch, strange-looking on replay.

Stenberg goal: Dellandrea keeps it in, Stenberg heads to the net, Toffoli fires it, deflection and in.

Period 2

Eklund goal: Dellandrea looked a step slow on Eklund. It was in recovery, Dellandrea hedged harder toward Schaefer, probably the game plan, and Eklund found the soft spot.

Toffoli goal: I hope Pelech is okay lol…haven’t seen that before, off Pelech’s face and in. I can add the lol because Pelech back in there and shot wasn’t too hard.

Period 3

Marchment penalty: I might understand giving Marchment an extra, he looked like he was getting some shots in when Eklund was covered up and the refs were shielding him, but how does Eklund not even get one boarding minor on that?

10 in: Redemption for the PK? Goodrow nice job to skate it out, good pop, then Ostapchuk draws the trip, and Palat gets the hooking. The rare double make-up call lol.

8 left: San Jose Sharks with some chances 4-on-3. Hope Celebrini isn’t kicking himself after the game. He had one in the slot. I can tell that he’s taking all this losing very hard. Smith hit a post too. Good PP. Celebrini-Smith-Wennberg-Stenberg when they needed a goal there.

5 left: Misa comes up with the Pohlkamp stretch, and Islander draped over him, still gets a shot.

1 left: Nurse versus Homstrom low, Wennberg swooped in to outnumber, kill the play, Kesselring comes out with it. Value of Wennberg there.

No rest for Wennberg and Smith! Regulation ATOI: Wennberg 21:41, Celebrini 21:16, Smith 21:09. Wennberg led San Jose Sharks forwards.

First Sharks’ point in six games, well-earned.

OT

Wennberg-Celebrini-Dickinson to start.

When Misa on the ice in OT, Celebrini gives him the puck and hides way in the NZ. Fun cat-and-mouse game there with Isles’ defense.

2 left: Wennberg just ripped it from Palmieri along the wall. He looks healthy.
