New-look Islanders hope to halt West Coast skid against Sharks

The New York Islanders will have a new look down the middle when they visit the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night, looking to end a two-game skid.

New York acquired center Brayden Schenn from the St. Louis Blues before Friday's trade deadline. The 34-year-old, who has 12 goals and 28 points in 61 games this season, was coincidentally already in the Bay Area because the Blues were playing the Sharks on Friday night.

"What excites me about this team is the high-end talent," Schenn said of his new club.
