The San Jose Sharks' 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders raises questions about their ability to close out games. Despite dominating play and outshooting their opponents, the Sharks couldn't secure a win. What went wrong in those crucial five minutes?

JD Young breaks down the standout performances, including Celebrini's mission to secure the Sharks' first win and the impressive play of the "sleepover line" featuring Smith and Tofolli. Michael Misa earns his first NHL point, while Adam Gaudette finds the back of the net. But it's Sam Dickinson's resilience that catches the eye - is he on track to become the Sharks' best defenseman?

Not all news is positive, as Nick Leddy's struggles continue, especially on the penalty kill. Young doesn't hold back, suggesting it might be time for the Sharks to explore moving Leddy once healthier options emerge. How will this impact the team's defensive strategy moving forward?

Dive into the numbers as Young analyzes advanced stats, revealing just how close the Sharks came to victory. From shot attempts to expected goals, the data tells a story of a team on the brink of success.

Tune in for an in-depth look at the Sharks' performance and what it means for their season ahead. Will they turn these close losses into wins?
