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. <\/p>\n<p>San Jose Sharks News &amp; Notes<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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\u2019s power-play struggles in the room afterward. <\/p>\n<p>New York Islanders Projected Lines<\/p>\n<p>Line 1: Simon Holmstrom \u2013 Bo Horvat \u2013 Kyle Palmieri<\/p>\n<p>Line 2: Emil Heineman \u2013 Brayden Schenn \u2013 Victor Eklund<\/p>\n<p>Line 3: Ondrej Palat \u2013 Jean-Gabriel Pageau \u2013 Anthony Duclair<\/p>\n<p>Line 4: Kyle MacLean \u2013 Casey Cizikas \u2013 Mitchell Chaffee<\/p>\n<p>Pair 1: Logan Stanley \u2013 Matthew Schaefer<\/p>\n<p>Pair 2: Adam Pelech \u2013 Tony DeAngelo<\/p>\n<p>Pair 3: Ben Hutton \u2013 Matthew Kessel<\/p>\n<p>Goaltenders: Ilya Sorokin \u2013 Semyon Varlamov<\/p>\n<p>New York Islanders Special Teams<\/p>\n<p>Power play, First unit: Simon Holmstrom \u2013 Bo Horvat \u2013 Brayden Schenn \u2013 Victor Eklund \u2013 Matthew Schaefer<\/p>\n<p>Power play, Second unit: Kyle Palmieri \u2013 Ondrej Palat \u2013 Anthony Duclair \u2013 Emil Heineman \u2013 Tony DeAngelo<\/p>\n<p>Penalty kill, First unit: Ondrej Palat \u2013 Casey Cizikas \u2013 Adam Pelech \u2013 Matthew Kessel<\/p>\n<p>Penalty kill, Second unit: Jean-Gabriel Pageau \u2013 Simon Holmstrom \u2013 Logan Stanley \u2013 Matthew Schaefer<\/p>\n<p>San Jose Sharks Projected Lines<\/p>\n<p>Line 1: Michael Misa \u2013 Macklin Celebrini \u2013 Will Smith<\/p>\n<p>Line 2: Mason Marchment \u2013 Collin Graf \u2013 Kiefer Sherwood<\/p>\n<p>Line 3: Ivar Stenberg \u2013 Ty Dellandrea \u2013 Tyler Toffoli<\/p>\n<p>Line 4: Barclay Goodrow \u2013 Filip Bystedt \u2013 Adam Gaudette<\/p>\n<p>Pair 1: Sam Dickinson \u2013 Jacob Trouba<\/p>\n<p>Pair 2: Darnell Nurse \u2013 Michael Kesselring<\/p>\n<p>Pair 3: Dmitry Orlov \u2013 Eric Pohlkamp<\/p>\n<p>Goaltenders: Yaroslav Askarov \u2013 Alex Nedeljkovic<\/p>\n<p>San Jose Sharks Special Teams<\/p>\n<p>Power play, First unit: Mason Marchment \u2013 Michael Misa \u2013 Tyler Toffoli \u2013 Macklin Celebrini \u2013 Will Smith<\/p>\n<p>Power play, Second unit: Kiefer Sherwood \u2013 Ivar Stenberg \u2013 Collin Graf \u2013 Dmitry Orlov \u2013 Eric Pohlkamp<\/p>\n<p>Penalty kill, First unit: Filip Bystedt \u2013 Collin Graf \u2013 Darnell Nurse \u2013 Jacob Trouba<\/p>\n<p>Penalty kill, Second unit: Barclay Goodrow \u2013 Ty Dellandrea \u2013 Sam Dickinson \u2013 Michael Kesselring<\/p>\n<p>Players To Watch<\/p>\n<p>Brayden Schenn \u2014 New York Islanders<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schenn chipped in an assist on three shots in 14:32 last time out, and the underlying work backs it up: Box Score Junkie has him at 52.1% Corsi-for with 61.4 shot attempts for per 60 in 2026-27.
