"The San Jose Sharks are going to have a hard time turning around their season if they continue to make too many mistakes in the defensive zone. The Sharks peppered New York Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin with 29 shots in the first two periods on Tuesday night, but were their own worst enemy at times, especially in front of their own net, in a 4-3 loss at UBS Arena."
"Michael Misa's first point in the NHL came on Gaudette's goal, which tied the game 2-2 at the 14:16 mark of the first period. Defenseman Sam Dickinson kept the puck in the Islanders' zone after a clearing attempt with his hand and sent the puck into the corner. Graf collected the puck behind the net and backhanded it out front to Misa, who sent it across the crease to Gaudette, who scored his second of the season on a mostly empty net."
San Jose outshot the New York Islanders early but defensive-zone lapses and turnovers led to a 4-3 loss at UBS Arena. The Sharks allowed a power-play goal by Emil Heineman and an even-strength goal by rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer after getting caught looking at the puck. A first-period goal by Casey Cizikas resulted from rookie Sam Dickinson losing control behind the net. Collin Graf, Adam Gaudette and Macklin Celebrini scored for San Jose, with Michael Misa earning his first NHL point on Gaudette’s goal. Yaroslav Askarov made 23 saves; Ilya Sorokin stopped 33. The Sharks fell to 0-4-2.
