Horvat, Casey Cizikas, and Emil Heineman also scored for the Islanders, while Ilya Sorokin made 33 saves in arguably his sharpest outing of the young season. Collin Graf had a short-handed goal and assist for the Sharks, who fell to 0–4–2. The Islanders erased an early deficit quickly — answering Graf’s short-handed opener in 57 seconds when Horvat scored on the power play. Celebrini pulled San Jose within one in the third but the Islanders locked it down from there. The Islanders beat a team they needed to beat, got stars to produce when needed, and again rode an 18-year-old rookie who keeps erasing the line between hype and proof.
