Anthony Duclair, Anders Lee, and Adam Boqvist also scored for the Islanders (29-26-7), who have won four of their past five games. With the win, New York pulls within three points of the Eastern Conference's second wild-card spot behind the Columbus Blue Jackets.

After all the trade deadline talk subsided, the New York Islanders had a game to play and despite a slow start, they comfortably picked up two points Saturday against the San Jose Sharks, winning 4-2.

In their place during Saturday’s morning skate, the Sharks had winger Klim Kostin in Zetterlund’s spot on a line with Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith, goalie Georgi Romanov backing up Alexandar Georgiev, and newcomer Patrick Giles in Sturm’s old spot as the fourth-line center.
