SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Aaron Dell does not see a lot of action as the San Jose Sharks' back-up goalie. Yet the New York Islanders would say they've seen too much of him.
San Jose's rookie netminder beat New York for the second time this season on Friday. He stopped 26 as the hosts got a late tie-breaking goal from Patrick Marleau to win 3-2 during a Friday matinee in front of sold-out crowd of 17,562 fans at SAP Center.
The 27-year-old Dell beat the Islanders 3-2 on Oct. 18, during his NHL debut. He made only one start since before Friday.
