Stenberg on Shootout Winner, Playing Victor Eklund | Sharks vs. Islanders Postgame (11.9.26)

Ivar Stenberg scored the only goal of an eight-round shootout as the San Jose Sharks beat the New York Islanders 3-2 at SAP Center in San Jose (Nov. 9, 2026), snapping a five-game losing streak. On Barclay Goodrow and Ty Dellandrea fighting at the same time: "I'm happy that both Goody and Delly stood up for me, so, yeah, I got so fired up."

Stenberg on finally getting the win ("I've been working for this win for some weeks now"), beating Ilya Sorokin after missing on his first two shootout tries ("I have some options... happy I scored"), Alexander Wennberg's return ("he's so good in 200-foot game"), Yaroslav Askarov's 30-save night, and facing fellow Swede Victor Eklund. Questions from San Jose Hockey Now's Zubair Jeewanjee and the Sharks media.
