The Sharks improved their record to 12-8-1 in a thrilling 3-2 win over the New York Islanders (6-10-4) at home on Friday, continuing their strange three game streak streak.
The Sharks improved their home record to 7-2, and dropped the Isles road record to 1-6-1 on the season, lending some credence to the power of the Barclays Center’s Lucky SUV. In a rare appearance by Aaron Dell, credited perhaps to his solid performance against these very Islanders earlier this season (a .913 win on October 18), the Sharks exposed a few of the many weaknesses of this year’s thin Islanders squad.
