Warsofsky on Shootout Decisions, Stenberg's Growth | Sharks vs. Islanders Postgame (11.9.26)

Why didn't Ivar Stenberg shoot until round eight? After the San Jose Sharks beat the New York Islanders 3-2 in an eight-round shootout at SAP Center in San Jose (Nov. 9, 2026), head coach Ryan Warsofsky explained: "We got a lot of data. We practice in practice. We keep track of it, believe it or not."

Warsofsky on snapping the five-game skid ("it gives us a little bit of a weight off our shoulders"), Yaroslav Askarov's night and eight straight shootout saves, Barclay Goodrow and Ty Dellandrea answering the bell ("that's kind of the emotion of the sport"), his long talk with the referee after the review, Alexander Wennberg's return against Bo Horvat's line ("he had no limitations tonight"), Stenberg's growth ("he's got like some sneaky speed in him"), and the Sharks' 3-on-3 defense.
