Logan Couture scored in regulation and added the lone goal in the shootout as the San Jose Sharks snapped a seven-game losing streak by edging the visiting New York Islanders, 4–3.
New York’s Zdeno Chara played in his 1,652nd game, breaking a tie with Chris Chelios for the most games played by a defenseman in NHL history. The 44-year-old veteran saw 16:26 of ice time and also became the oldest player ever to earn a fighting major when he tussled with Jeffrey Viel—who was born nine months before Chara made his NHL debut in 1997.
