Tough night versus Philly Sorokin stopped 19 of 23 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers, with Philadelphia's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The Flyers struck three times in the second period to take the lead for good, with the Islanders' defense seemingly unable to clear their own zone or stop the visitors from some tic-tac-toe passing displays. It's the sixth time in his last 11 outings that Sorokin has surrendered at least four goals, a bumpy stretch in which he's gone 5-6-0 with a 3.41 GAA and .876 save percentage.

Impact Sorokin sat out Saturday's game against Utah due to an illness, and he got the night off Tuesday against the Senators. However, he'll return to the net Thursday and will attempt to extend his win streak to three games. Across his last five starts, the 29-year-old has gone 3-2-0 with a 2.20 GAA and .921 save percentage.

Returns to practice Sorokin (illness) returned to practice Monday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Sorokin was unavailable for Saturday's game against Utah due to his illness, but he appears to have moved past the ailment. Whether he'll serve as the starting goaltender for Tuesday's home game against Ottawa remains to be seen, but it appears as though he'll at least be available in a backup capacity since Jakub Skarek was returned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday.

Unavailable Saturday Sorokin (illness) won't be in the lineup for Saturday's road matchup against Utah.

Impact The Islanders recalled Jakub Skarek on Saturday from AHL Bridgeport on an emergency basis. Sorokin has won his last two outings, including a 30-save shutout against Vegas on Thursday. He has a 13-13-4 record with a 2.83 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 30 appearances this season. Marcus Hogberg will face Utah on Saturday, while Skarek will be the backup.

Steps up with 30-save shutout Sorokin posted a 30-save shutout in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Sorokin earned his second shutout of the year and the 20th of his career in this performance against the NHL's top team. Given that he had allowed at least three goals in seven of his previous nine outings, this was a bit of a surprise performance, especially in hostile territory. Sorokin improved to 13-13-4 with a 2.83 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 30 starts this season. The Islanders' three-game road trip concludes Saturday in Utah, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Sorokin start that contest as well.

Set to start Thursday Sorokin will protect the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Sorokin has gone 4-6-0 with a 3.54 GAA and an .873 save percentage over his last 10 games. He's seen a heavy workload in the absence of Semyon Varlamov (lower body), and that may be impacting Sorokin's performance. It'll be tough for him to turn things around, as the Golden Knights have scored 23 goals over their last six games, winning five of them.

Earns OT win vs. Boston Sorokin stopped 26 of 30 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact Sorokin didn't have his best individual effort, but it was just enough to lift the Isles to victory in what turned out to be a high-scoring matchup. Even though Sorokin's role as the Isles' primary goaltender isn't under any threat, it's worth noting his recent performances haven't been particularly solid. He's posted a save percentage below the .890 mark in three of his last five appearances, a span in which he's gone 2-3-0 with a 3.42 GAA and an .873 save percentage.

Tending twine against Boston Sorokin led the Islanders onto the ice for Sunday's pregame warmups, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating he'll start on the road against the Bruins.

Impact Sorokin has been held out of the win column in each of his last two starts, going 0-2-0 with a 2.05 GAA and .927 save percentage in appearances that both came against the Maple Leafs. He should have a more favorable matchup Sunday, as the Bruins are averaging just 2.61 goals per game this year, which is the fifth-worst mark in the league.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Cannot save his team Sorokin made 29 saves in a 2-1 regulation loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday.

Impact The bottom line for Sorokin is grim. The Isles lack the kind of depth or offensive talent to compete most nights, and that means that Sorokin needs be be near-perfect to get his team a win. The Isles are tied for last in the Metropolitan division, and their 14 wins tie them with Buffalo for the fourth-worst total in the NHL right now. They have scored just 103 goals in 39 games. Sorokin is an elite talent on a very bad team, and for the first time in his career, he isn't able to be a difference maker for them. Now may be the time for keeper and dynasty managers to inquire about his availability, especially if they're rebuilding. Sorokin is just 29, and he has many, many great years ahead of him.

Takes loss in hard-fought game Sorokin made 22 saves in a 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. He allowed two goals.

Impact It was a hard-fought, but non-eventful game, and both Sorokin and Joseph Woll played well.

Overall, Sorokin is 11-12-4 with a 2.92 GAA and .898 save percentage in 27 starts. It's the first time in his NHL career that his season save percentage has slipped below .909.
