New York Islanders at San Jose Sharks: Chara’s record, Bailey’s ballad [Game #47]

The Islanders are in San Jose to attempt to win consecutive games for the first time in far too long. The main story lines:

  • Zdeno Chara will break the NHL record for games played by a defenseman.
  • Ilya Sorokin will start his eighth in a row.
  • Looks like Josh Bailey will be a scratch while Oliver Wahlstrom slots back in at 100%, and the Parise-Barzal-Palmieri line will get another look.

Wahlstrom taking regular turns with Pageau and Lee. Bailey appears odd forward out. Other three lines the same from win at Seattle.
