Stenberg Breaks Ties in Shootout to End San Jose Skid

Ivar Stenberg scored his eighth-round shot of the season against New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin, securing a 3-2 victory for the Sharks and ending their five-game losing streak. The game featured intense physical play including multiple fights and scrums before settling into an overtime shootout where Askarov saved all eight attempts by the Islanders. Stenberg's performance was part of Alexander Wennberg's positive impact on the roster following his return from injury, helping San Jose avoid a six-game skid despite finishing four points out of playoff contention.
