"The San Jose Sharks take the team's first East Coast road trip of the season, and the first stop is a showdown between the top two picks of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. The Sharks will face the New York Islanders on Long Island this afternoon, with Matthew Schaefer and Michael Misa both expected to play. Of the two, Schaefer is the standout. He is the youngest defenseman to open his career with a five-game point streak."
"As for Misa, while he has yet to register his first NHL point, he looked pretty dangerous in his most recent NHL start. Misa had some good scoring chances, including this pair of opportunities against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. https://twitter.com/br_openice/status/1979747823987175443?s=46&t=KmouqWKId47R6aaBjt7gfQ Misa getting his first point against the Islanders would be a pretty good way to get things going for the young rookie. The Sharks getting the team's first in of the season would be good as well."
"The Islanders are 2-3-0 to start the season. After a tough 0-3-0 start, the team has reeled off two straight wins. The Isles beat the Ottawa Senators 5-4 on Saturday. Anders Lee had three points in the game, including the game winner with just over a minute remaining in the third period. Veterans Bo Horvat, Emil Heineman and Kyle Palmieri also scored. Ilya Sorokin won his first game of the season."
