The San Jose Sharks had little to say after a 2-1 overtime loss to the New York Islanders. It was the team’s second overtime loss in as many days and it was clear that the is one stung a lot more than the 3-2 loss to St. Louis on Friday night. For the first half of the game, the Sharks seemed to figure out how to hang with the Islanders, but as the game wore on, San Jose got its scoring chances, but could not maintain puck possession as well as the Islanders did. There were a lot of one-a...
