"He was awesome. He was laying the body, playing a role against the [Macklin] Celebrini line. He was phenomenal for us tonight. He's such a presence on and off the ice. - Bo Horvat on Brayden Schenn's debut performance"
"I'm not going to lie, I had a little bit of nerves for the first time in a long, long time. New surroundings. New team. I'm excited to be here and be a part of this group. You can really tell it's a special group of guys that play for one another, and that's how you win hockey games. - Brayden Schenn"
"They came up with a huge penalty kill bridging the end of regulation and the start of the extra period, and they remained perfect in nine overtimes. Matthew Schaefer sprung Bo Horvat to the net for a goal with 39.6 seconds left in OT as the Islanders beat San Jose, 2-1."
The Islanders secured a 2-1 overtime victory against the Sharks at SAP Center, with Bo Horvat scoring the game-winning goal 39.6 seconds into OT. Despite struggling with offensive production and going 0-for-3 on the power play, the team relied on strong penalty killing and perfect overtime execution. Brayden Schenn, acquired before the trade deadline, made his debut centering Ondrej Palat and Cal Ritchie for 17:26 of ice time. The victory moved the Islanders one point ahead of the Penguins in the Metropolitan Division standings. The team has won nine of their last 13 games, demonstrating consistency despite the sluggish offensive performance.
