The San Jose Sharks have snapped their losing streak.

The Sharks topped the New York Islanders in a 3-2 shootout victory, ending a five-game skid.

Ivar Stenberg and Tyler Toffoli scored, while Yaroslav Askarov turned away 30-of-32 shots and eight shootout rounds to pull out the win.

A deeper game story with micro-stats from Stathletes and game action clips, Sharks Insight, will be published soon.

Honestly, watching the pre-scout on Sorokin, I was thinking low blocker. Saw a couple shootout goals went in there. But then, I thought he was cheating low blocker a little bit, so I tried to go back glove, and he made a good save.

I think the biggest message, I think everyone just, individually, had to buy in a little bit more. Whether that was preparing better for the game, battling harder in practice, or just the little habits. Everyone just buying in more, individually, it just makes our team a lot better.

I told him to do that. (laughs)

Ryan Warsofsky

He doesn’t fight the panic. He can play through traffic. I think his pace, especially the last two games, he’s got some sneaky speed in him where he kind of catches teams off guard a little bit.

Had him up there against Horvat’s line. Did a really good job. Really takes control out there as far as play without the puck. I thought he did a really good job, sorting things out. Kind of gives our team a little bit of some calmness, in a sense, in the way we want to play.

Ivar Stenberg

He’s so good in the 200-foot game and brings a lot in the locker room too.

Mason Marchment

Just more comfortable with the puck. He’s so smooth and skilled. Sometimes, it’s hard when you’re young, to come in with the confidence to carry it and hang on to it.
