The New York Islanders franchise-record point streak reached 17 games on Saturday, but it came via an overtime loss, as the Isles fell 2-1 to the San Jose Sharks at SAP Center.
Casey Cizikas scored the Isles' lone goal in regulation, but Logan Couture's OT winner at 2:30 prevented the Islanders from securing a second point. While the overtime loss was an unsatisfactory result for an Islanders team accustomed to winning over their 15-0-2 run, the team was relatively happy with their process.
