NEW YORK — The Sharks lost for the first time this season as the Islanders delivered again with a big win in their new Brooklyn home.
Kyle Okposo scored the tie-breaking goal early in the third period and added two assists as New York got the last four goals of the game to beat San Jose 6-3 Saturday night.
Johnny Boychuk, Anders Lee, Josh Bailey, Brock Nelson and Frans Nielsen also scored to help the Islanders win their third straight — all at home.
Jaroslav Halak made his season debut after missing the first four games because of an undisclosed upper-body injury and finished with 22 saves.
