Islanders look to extend winning streak, face Sharks

Feb 18, 2008 - 2:20 PM UNIONDALE, New York (Ticker) -- The New York Islanders will look to equal a season-high four-game winning streak on Monday when they host the San Jose Sharks.

The Islanders have won their last three games but still sit in last place in the Atlantic Division. The club has climbed to within three points of the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

New York is coming off a 4-1 victory over Atlanta on Saturday, setting franchise records for fewest shots allowed (nine) and shot discrepancy (40).

The Islanders last won four straight from November 1-10. Rick DiPietro is 22-21-7 with a 2.70 goals-against average for New York this season.

San Jose is trying to keep red-hot Dallas in its sights in the race for the Pacific Division title.

The Sharks are 3-3-1 in their last seven games, but their winless streak (0-2-1) was extended to three on Sunday with a 3-1 road loss to the New York Rangers. The game kicked off an eight-game road trip for San Jose that concludes March 1 at St. Louis.

The Sharks are 17-6-3 on the road. All-Star Evgeni Nabokov has played in all but one of San Jose's 58 games this season, posting a 31-18-7 record with a 2.21 goals-against average.

Monday's game will be the only meeting of the season between the two teams.
