After a dismal start to the season, the New York Islanders are on one of their best runs in nearly two years. A matchup with a team they dominated just a few days ago could help them continue that strong play. New York looks to win its fifth straight Wednesday night when it visits the Buffalo Sabres, who were routed at Nassau Coliseum on Saturday. The Islanders began 2009-10 with nine losses in 10 games (1-4-5) before turning things around. They have won four in a row, outscoring opponents 15-5, and can win five straight for the first time since a six-game run from Feb. 12-21, 2008.

This is the second time since that stretch that New York (5-4-5) has won four in a row, also accomplishing the feat Jan. 21-Feb. 3. He didn’t register a point against Buffalo (8-2-1) on Saturday, when the Islanders posted their first shutout and set a season high in goals with five behind Jeff Tambellini’s hat trick.

Saturday’s loss snapped a four-game win streak for Buffalo, which was shut out for the first time and allowed a season high in goals. Ryan Miller entered with an 8-0-1 record and a 1.64 goals-against average before being pulled by coach Lindy Ruff after the Islanders built a 3-0 lead in the second period.

The San Jose Sharks had eight players score goals last weekend as they earned two victories and stretched their winning streak to five. They’ll try to showcase that balance again Wednesday night when they face the Columbus Blue Jackets in the second game of their three-game road trip. San Jose (10-4-1) beat Colorado 3-1 on Friday before opening its trip with a 5-1 victory over Carolina on Sunday. Patrick Marleau recorded his team-high 11th goal after defensemen Kent Huskins and Douglas Murray each scored their first. “I think that’s a part of our team,” Huskins said. “All of our defensemen can kind of get up in the rush and make it an odd-man rush. If we can chip in goals, that’s great.”

The Sharks scored 18 goals during their five consecutive victories. Marleau had four goals and six assists in that span while Dany Heatley added three and two. Evgeni Nabokov won four starts in a row with a 1.47 goals-against average in that stretch for San Jose, which faces Detroit on Thursday. Nabokov is 17-4-2 with a 1.80 GAA against Columbus (7-5-1).

Heatley had three goals and an assist in a 6-3 home victory over Columbus on Oct. 8. The Sharks went 6-0-2 in their last eight meetings with the Blue Jackets. Columbus lost its last two home games, but rallied for a 5-4 overtime win at Washington on Sunday. Raffi Torres tied the game twice in the third period and R.J. Umberger scored on the power play in the extra session.
