The San Jose Sharks gave up three goals in the second period, including a backbreaker with just 27 seconds left before intermission in a 4-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday at UBS Arena.

The Sharks managed just 11 shots in the first two periods, but one was a goal by Barclay Goodrow, whose shot from near the boards inside the Islanders zone got past goalie Marcus Hogberg and tied the game 1-1 with 10:02 left in the second period.

But the Islanders responded just 40 seconds later, as a long pass from Adam Pelech got through the neutral zone to Kyle Palmieri to set up a 2-on-1. Palmieri then fed Brock Nelson, who beat Sharks goalie Alexander Georgiev from in close for his 13th goal of the season.

The Sharks then gave up a goal to Noah Dobson at the end of the second period and one to Ryan Pulock just 1:03 into the third period, losing for the fifth time in six games.

In those six games, the Sharks have scored just one goal or less four times.

Georgiev finished with 27 saves as the Sharks fell to 1-2-0 on a five-game road trip that ends with games against the Boston Bruins on Monday and the Nashville Predators on Tuesday.

The Sharks were without leading scorer Tyler Toffoli (lower body) and defenseman Timothy Liljegren (ill).
