"New York snapped a brief two-game skid on Saturday with a 2-1 overtime victory over the San Jose Sharks. Bo Horvat scored the game-winner in extra time, racing past the defense before finishing a breakaway created by rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer. Tony DeAngelo scored the Islanders' other goal, while Ilya Sorokin made 30 saves."
"The win continued an incredible trend for the Islanders, who remain a perfect 9-0 in games decided in overtime this season - the only team in the NHL still unbeaten in the extra period. It also marks the first time since the Vegas Golden Knights in 2021 that a team has won its first nine overtime games of a season."
"Sorokin is expected to start again Tuesday and continues to anchor the Islanders in net. The goaltender has been particularly strong on the road, posting a 16-7-1 record away from UBS Arena with five shutouts this season."
