SHARKS3,ISLANDERS2 Up Next: Sharks at Pittsburgh When: Thursday, 4p.m. TV: CSN-CA THESCORE FRANK FRANKLIN II — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sharks' Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski celebrate with teammates a er Pavelski scored during the third period Tuesday. By Curtis Pashelka Bay Area News Group NEW YORK San Jose Sharks goalie Aaron Dell had never ex- perienced a moment like this be- fore. Joe Pavelski had been in this position time and again. Pavelski scored the game-win- ner on one of his trademark re- directed passes with 2:11 left in the third period as the Sharks topped the New York Islanders 3-2 on Tuesday at Barclays Cen- ter, giving Dell an emotional vic- tory in his NHL debut. Melker Karlsson and Tomas Hertl also scored for the Sharks, who improved to 2-1 record on their five-game road trip, which continues Thursday against the Pittsburgh Penguins in a rematch of the 2016 Stanley Cup final. "It's special playing your first game," Pavelski said. "Deller was good when he had to be. It's great to get a win for him and the guys. First (NHL) game on a back-to- back night, it's not an easy posi- tion to be in for any goalie." Dell, 27, finished with 21 saves, as he became the first Sharks goalie to win in his NHL debut since Troy Grosenick, who made 45 saves in a 2-0 win over the Car- olina Hurricanes on Nov. 16, 2014. "I wasn't really nervous at all," Dell said. "I was more nervous in preseason than I was tonight." After taking a cross ice pass from Brent Burns, Joe Thornton fired the puck to Pavelski, who re- directedthepuckfromtheslotpast Islanders goalie Jaroslav Halak for his second goal of the season. Pavelski had 11 game-winners last season, and now has 47 for his career. "I've never seen anybody in the world like him. It's amazing," Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said whenasked aboutPavelski'sability toredirectpucksonnet."Hishand- eye coordination is incredible. "He tips hundreds of pucks per practice and I think some of it is God-given, but a lot of it is the hard work he puts into it." Pavelski's goal finished a strong night for the Sharks' top line, as Thornton also assisted on Hertl's critical goal with 1:57 to go in the second period that tied the game 2-2. Pavelski, Thornton and Hertl haven't had a lot of time on the ice together since the end of the World Cup, and looked especially out of rhythm in Monday's 7-4 loss to the New York Rangers. Tuesday was a big bounce back for that line and the Sharks as a whole, particularly on the defen- sive end. "We understood that we haven't had a whole lot of time together and it's going to keep coming," Pavelski said. "Tonight, we just forechecked a lot better. Held onto the puck, Herts was around it all night. It was just a heavier game from our line." Dell had a lot of people rooting for him Tuesday night. Not only friends and family from his native Alberta, but fans he's come across throughout his professional career from Allen, Texas to Salt Lake City. Dell treated Tuesday like it was any other day, or tried to, anyway. Perhaps that was one of the ben- efits of playing 157 games in the minor leagues, including 40 last season with the Barracuda, before he stepped on the ice in Brooklyn.

For seven simple minutes, it was all about football and his performance as the San Fran- cisco 49ers starting quarter- back, not about his national- anthem protest and sociologi- cal ideals. It's not that Kaepernick is done championing a social- equality movement. Rather, he finally can speak of his play and that of the 49ers, who look to snap a five-game skid Sunday at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. "Getting this first win to break this losing streak will be huge for us, and that's what our focus has to be this week in preparation," Kaepernick said inside the locker room. Kaepernick hasn't started at Levi's Stadium since last Oct. 22, a 20-3 loss to the Seattle Se- ahawks. His expectations for this Sunday's return: "A win." The 49ers (1-5) may have to seek that win without their of- fense's workhorse, running back Carlos Hyde, who did not prac- tice Tuesday and rode a station- ary bike while wearing a sling to support his injured right shoul- der. Kaepernick reclaimed the starting role from Blaine Gab- bert last week, and although Kaepernick revised his con- tract to lessen the 49ers' finan- cial burden in case he gets hurt, Kaepernick said he did not have to make that deal to get back on the field. After Sunday's 45-16 loss at Buffalo, several Bills doubted Kaepernick's ability to suc- ceed in his second go-round as a starter. "We wanted to do everything we could to make him throw the ball," cornerback Stephon Gilm- ore told Bleacher Report's Tyler Dunne. "I mean, he's an athlete. You can't take that from him. But when it comes to passing the ball, he can't really throw." Kaepernick's response Tues- day: "That's an opinion.
