New York Islanders News & Notes
New York carried a two-goal lead into the third period Saturday and did not keep it, falling 5-4 to New Jersey when Jack Hughes scored in overtime. Ilya Sorokin was busy throughout, and the Islanders argued a missed call on the sequence that preceded the winner. The game had a second cost attached: defenseman Logan Stanley was fined the maximum allowable amount by the Department of Player Safety for a slash on Devils captain Nico Hischier.
San Jose Sharks News & Notes
San Jose returned home from a winless road trip after a 4-3 loss in Dallas on Saturday, its fifth straight defeat. Thomas Harley led the Stars with a goal and two assists, all three points coming on the power play, as Dallas built an early lead the Sharks could not erase. Goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic discussed confronting Mikko Rantanen during the game, while Will Smith addressed San Jose’s power-play struggles in the room afterward.
