The New York Islanders secured a convincing 4-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks at home Saturday night. Mathew Barzal and Brock Nelson each contributed with a goal and an assist, helping to snap the Islanders' two-game losing streak. Noah Dobson and Ryan Pulock also found the back of the net, while goaltender Marcus Hogberg turned away 18 shots for the win.
The Sharks, struggling with their form, have now lost five of their last six games. Barclay Goodrow scored for San Jose, and goaltender Alexandar Georgiev made 27 saves. The game saw Barzal score first on a breakaway, followed by Goodrow's equalizer, but quick responses from Nelson and Dobson put the Islanders ahead for good.
