SAN JOSE, Calif. — Kyle MacLean was sporting a blackened right eye and a couple of stitches underneath it Tuesday, the residual effect of his bout with Ty Dellandrea one night prior. It had been MacLean’s hit on Ivar Stenberg along the near-side boards that ignited the eventual 3-2 Islanders loss to San Jose into a maelstrom, as the Sharks reacted with fury over a hit late in the second period that was hard but legal.
