The streaky Sorokin has won two straight starts while allowing three goals on 46 shots, but that comes on the heels of six straight losses. New York might need him to stay sharp if it's going to stay ahead of Detroit, Washington and Pittsburgh in the race for the final postseason berth in the Eastern Conference.

Starting Tuesday Sorokin will protect the home net Tuesday against Chicago, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

He will get the second half of the Islanders' back-to-back after Semyon Varlamov plays against Philadelphia on Monday.

Impact Sorokin is mired in a six-game losing streak during which he has posted a 3.58 GAA and .881 save percentage. It certainly hasn't been all the netminder's fault, considering the Isles have failed to score a goal in three of those six defeats. Despite the slump, Sorokin will likely remain the preferred option in the crease ahead of Thursday's road clash with the Panthers.

Tough night in Detroit Sorokin stopped 18 of 23 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Red Wings, with Detroit's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The first half of the game was actually scoreless, but the wheels fell off for the Islanders fairly quickly once Christian Fischer beat Sorokin on a breakaway just over 11 minutes into the second period. It's the 28-year-old netminder's fifth straight loss, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 3.66 GAA and .878 save percentage, but the issue has been with New York's defense more than it's been with Sorokin's play. With the Isles sliding out of the playoff picture though, they need their No. 1 goalie to start stealing a win or two.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Facing Red Wings Sorokin will be between the visiting pipes in Detroit on Thursday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Impact Sorokin is also slated to start Sunday versus the Devils with Sergei Varlamov getting the crease versus Winnipeg on Saturday, according to coach Patrick Roy.

Falls to Carolina Sorokin stopped 30 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The Hurricanes scored three goals late in the first period on Sorokin, including one on the power play, and the Islanders could not overcome the deficit. It was the fourth loss in a row for Sorokin and the fifth straight loss for New York. If Sorokin's save percentage starts climbing and he can string together some wins, he could still be a valuable asset down the stretch. However, there is some risk involved in starting him right now, so consider your goalie options and matchups carefully.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Gets nod Tuesday Sorokin will start Tuesday at home against Carolina, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Over that nine-start stretch, he's posted a 2.57 GAA and .903 save percentage.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Rattled by Sabres Sorokin stopped 33 of 36 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to Buffalo, with the Sabres' final goal coming into an empty net.

Impact The game looked like it might become a goaltending duel between Sorokin and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen after a scoreless first period, but the Sabres broke through with a power-play tally early in the second frame and never looked back. Sorokin has lost two straight starts on the heels of a five-start win streak, but he hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last eight outings, posting a .913 save percentage over that stretch.

Slated starter for Thursday Sorokin is expected to start on the road against Buffalo on Thursday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Impact Sorokin has a 22-14-11 record, 2.99 GAA and .910 save percentage in 47 appearances in 2023-24. He's allowed two or fewer goals in each of his last four outings while winning three of those games.

Takes loss Monday Sorokin stopped 22 of 24 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Kings. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Sorokin didn't get any help from his teammates in the second half of a back-to-back. The 28-year-old saw his five-game winning streak snapped, but he still hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last seven outings.

Impact Semyon Varlamov will get the nod Sunday versus Anaheim. Sorokin has won his last five starts while saving 116 of 126 shots (.921 save percentage).

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

No trouble from Sharks Sorokin stopped 23 of 25 shots in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact The Islanders' offense did more than enough to support Sorokin in this lopsided win. This was his fifth win in a row, and he's allowed just 10 goals in that span. That's more like the Sorokin fantasy managers know and love, a refreshing return to form for the 28-year-old late in the season. He's now 22-13-11 with a 3.01 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 46 appearances this season. The Islanders' road trip continues with a back-to-back against the Ducks on Sunday and the Kings on Monday -- look for Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov to split those starts.

Starting in San Jose Sorokin will patrol the road crease versus the Sharks on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Sorokin has been on a roll recently, picking up four straight wins while posting an admirable 1.98 GAA and .921 save percentage. He'll try to secure his 22nd victory of the season in a juicy road matchup with an awful San Jose squad that's averaging only 2.30 goals at home this year, 31st in the NHL.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Light work in win Sorokin allowed two goals on 21 shots in a 4-2 win over the Blues on Tuesday.

Impact The Blues struck first on Sorokin, getting a two-goal lead in the second period but he was able to kick aside the remaining 10 shots sent his way for the win. Sorokin has been hot as of late as this was his fourth win in a row and he has not allowed more than three goals since Feb. 20. The Islanders, now with four consecutive wins, are still in the playoff hunt. This could lead to increased workload for Sorokin, providing an opportunity for additional wins and continued strong stats.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Tuesday Sorokin will protect the home net Tuesday against St. Louis, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Sorokin has stopped 74 of 80 shots during his three-game winning streak. Through 44 games played this season, he has provided a 20-13-11 record with two shutouts, a 3.06 GAA and a .909 save percentage. The Blues rank 26th in the league this campaign with 2.87 goals per contest.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Cruises to win Sorokin stopped 22 of 23 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact Sorokin played with a big lead early and often, as Kyle Palmieri scored a natural hat trick in the first period alone and the Islanders followed that up with two more goals in the second. The only blemish on Sorokin's night was a Bruins goal late in the second period. He stopped all three power-play shots he faced and finished with a solid .957 save percentage. This was Sorokin's third win in a row. Look for the Islanders to ride Sorokin as they push for a playoff spot.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Saturday Sorokin is on track to start Saturday at home versus Boston, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Sorokin has won his last two straight, giving up five goals on 57 shots in road victories over Dallas and Detroit. He is 19-13-11 with a 3.11 GAA and a .909 save percentage. He has a tough matchup against Boston, who are tied with Florida for the top spot in the Eastern Conference with 84 points.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Moving up franchise record list Sorokin made 23 saves in a 5-3 win over the Red Wings on Thursday.

Impact Sorokin earned his 89th career win and passed Jaroslav Halak (88) for sixth most in franchise history. He's 5-1-2 in his last eight starts, and 6-2-2 in 10 starts since Patrick Roy arrived on Long Island. If anyone can help a goalie grow his game, Roy can. Sorokin continues to lead the NHL in shots against (1,443) and saves (1,312), but that might change in a positive way with improved team defense under Roy. And that means his GAA and save percentage may improve, too.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Stops 30 in OT win Sorokin turned aside 30 of 32 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Stars.

Impact Sorokin was excellent Monday, holding the Dallas to a pair of second-period goals in a winning effort.

Overall, he's 18-13-11 with a .910 save percentage and 3.11 GAA this season. The Islanders are back in action Thursday on the road against Detroit.
