Sharks secure shootout win against Islanders; Askarov sets franchise save record
Summary

The San Jose Sharks defeated the New York Islanders 3-2 in a shootout on November 10. Yaroslav Askarov made history by stopping all eight Islanders shootout attempts, setting a franchise record for the most shootout saves in a game without allowing a goal. Timo Meier scored the winning goal in the shootout. Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky utilized a data-driven approach to determine shootout order, which played a role in Ivar Stenberg's timely contribution as the eighth-round shooter. The Sharks will likely continue refining their shootout strategy to improve their success rate among younger players.
