NHL Highlights | Sharks vs. Islanders | October 21, 2025

Mlin celebrating to take the draw here at UBS 
Arena at Belmont Park. Brenberg Thomas Hickeyi happier with us here on a Tuesday night as 
the Oers look to keep the Sharks winless as Drew Anne one hands this pass around the net. 
It comes all the way through for Pelican and a risker that was blocked out of the zone and 
streaking ahead as Tyler but is quickly caught turned around but he feeds Smith and now Celbrini 
right to the net and a tough stop to welcome Ilia Sro into the hockey game. It’s always tough when 
the play’s going one way and then it stops up. He creates a bad gap for the defenseman and these 
two guys. Smith couldn’t find a way to get it through to him. Gains the line but then turn it 
over and it’s a two-on-one the other way. Or he has a man and gone dead to the net and Sroen gets 
it to stick to the pass. Pull up the blue lines cuz you’ve got defenseman joining. That’s the 
way the NHL has played. End of the clip there. That’s Gold Quest coming back. Schaer on the drop. 
Drew Anne, Paul Murray, Barcel, and Horvette all together turned over at the line and look out. 
Short-handed rush up the ice tied to Landria to Gra and he scores. Colin Graph a short-handed goal 
and San Jose jumps out to the one- nothing lead. Stand at the offensive blue line. Every team 
plays the same way. Make them make a play and we’re going to stand at that line. Just a great 
job by the Sharks not just dumping that thing in. I I thought Jonathan Drew had an awesome 
beat on this thing. You’ll watch him come into frame right here and he’s right there beside 
Graph and I thought he was going to be able to get a stick on it, but just a quick release 
beats Sroen and for the Islanders power play. You mentioned looking to find its footing. 
Not the way you want to start the game, but you still got a minute and a half here as 
Patrick Wrozel from the dock. Nothing there. Lenny watching him closely. The pass fit out for 
Schaefer right at the blue line. Barcel once again he drives to the net. The backand all the way 
through. They score. Ball Horvat again from Barcel and Schaefer. And the Islanders after allowing a 
short-handed goal get it back on the power play. Has forgotten Matthew Barczel. He wanted Bo Horvat 
the whole time. Usually it’s where Jonathan Drowan is in the middle of the ice, but disguising it 
a little bit. That’s an unbelievable pass. And you’ve got a guy in Ascarov who catches with 
his right. So it’s a little bit different as a shooter. And Horvette picks up on that after that 
beautiful little saucer pass through the feet, but that hole sometimes isn’t there when 
you’re a shooter and you’re facing a guy that even in the game they won on Saturday 
against Ottawa and they won five to four. This is not a team that has historically won 
in recent memory by outscoring their problems. Right in front they score and popped right out to 
Casey Sikis and the Islanders with two goals in a minute four have taken the lead. Giving up a whole 
lot. This is pretty fortuitous as far as bounces go. Watch this puck squirt loose to Sikas right 
here. It goes. Okay, that’s Young Sim Dickinson. But I love that from Simon Holmstrom in on the for 
check there. I think there’s been talk about why is he not playing a little bit more? Well, he’s 
going to need to earn it. And it’s plays like that. I know it’s a little bit of a mistake by San 
Jose, but if the stick isn’t in under 6 minutes to go now here in the first period. Islanders 
up by one as Sam Dickinson gloved it down, kept that play alive at the blue line right in 
front. They move it over for God and he scores. Arters were an inch away from getting that puck 
out. was gloved down by Dickinson and it found its way to God for the goal on both sides. San 
Jose in a sequence before this gave up so many and this is Zikas not getting everything that 
he wanted to on that and we’ll talk about Sam Dickinson the young blueliner for the San Jose 
Sharks high draft pick he keeps that in at the line and look I’ll tip guy cap to once again 
that’s Graph making the play we talked about Godette his ability to finish especially from 
in close but the Islanders got to clean it up and so do the S pel a chance to get it out 
does not bouncing puck will Smith twisting and turning off Paul Mary skate and a point 
blank look for Skinner Pelic may have gotten a piece with a shin pad boorvac here’s Duclair 
boquist left side now shave off downhill for Anders Lee the side that spun to the goal a little 
dig at it in the say it’s in the referee has not agreed yet well I think Brendan what’s going 
to happen is they’re going to find out when this whistle was blown and here’s going to get 
thrown at the net let’s wait for the whistle I’d imagine that they thought he had it covered, 
but the puck was in the net. The ball in the ice is a good goal. And there’s the call on the 
ice to a good goal. It’s now up for San Jose to challenge, but for the moment, it’s a power 
play goal of a 3-2 Islanders lead. Well, Brendon, I think that that’s going to seal it right there 
because so often the officials will talk about when they intended to blow the whistle. Here’s 
one more look at it. We’ll take a listening well before after review the call in the ice stands. 
The puck was in the net before the Schaefer has some room to skate. 
No hand off to Barcel. Return to Matthew Schaer. Over the line 
for Paul Mary. Schaer went to the net. Paul Murray goes across for Dup. 
Didn’t get a lot of it. Schaer scores. Matthew Schaeer. A multi-point 
game. And it’s 42 New York. He forces you to make the right play. And watch 
this right here. He gives it to Barcel, but with him going forward, he just demands it. And this 
opens up everything. A great chance for Duclair on the back door, but the instinct to Schaefer 
just to stay in there. Yes, you’re a defenseman, but you got five bodies in there. You’ve got 
no threat of the other team going anywhere. Why not stick around? A nice feed from Anthony 
Duclar. And this kid’s having fun. Islanders sort of kept everything to the outside. Just that high 
slot was there, but there’s more dangerous things than that. Breaking in. Grab to the net with 
a tip up top, but Sroen able to knock it away. ankle of Druan. Pops right back to his feet. 
Dandreo, good look for Tofoley and he hit one off the bar and it stayed out. And then a quick 
turn near the line. Tried to force it to the net. Didn’t get a lot on it. Here’s Smith behind 
the defense. Pull tried to catch up to him. Will Smith turns away across and Dickinson and 
Sroken made the save and now for Anders Lee. Lee muscles his way by 15 seconds left. Mayfield 
long range. off the crossbar into the crowd. Shakir medullan also out. So 
three defenseman on IR. One of the reasons why they got Iori off 
waiverss from the Boston Capitals. Here’s Orlock to the slot. Cellini shoots and 
scores. Mlin brainy from just outside the hash marks rips it glove side on Sroken. The right 
intent. Everyone’s in the right spot. And this is the line that I said just just be ultra 
diligent when this line’s on the ice. They’re going to play a ton of minutes. Nice shot by 
Celibbrini. And sort of the theme recently that glove side. Maybe that’s the scouting report 
for teams is on Ilia Sroken. But a great shot there. And that Here’s Pacio. He’ll put it ahead 
in Simon Holmstrom on a breakaway. Save Ascarov. A short-handed chance for Holstrom. The play’s 
offside. Now he goes back to the well a little bit. We’ve seen this beautiful move. He’s got 
that long range trying to get the goalie sliding and ask Sharks trying to scramble back in. It 
went off Mayfield. Paul Mary with the puck. He turned it over. Windberg re-enters for San Jose. 
Wver celebrating and a save from Sroen underneath some bodies. One more shot and there’s a block 
by Anders Lee. Two seconds in one and it’s over. The Islanders have won three straight 
games to get back to 500 on the young

  1. Of course it’s only 6 games but Schaefer is tied for the league lead in points on D and tied for the most points in consecutive games to start a career (dmen). I think one more game would tie Daigle.
