Ilya Sorokin - Page 8 - NHL News & Rumors

Coughs up five in loss Sorokin stopped 34 of 39 shots in the Islanders' 7-4 loss to the Avalanche on Tuesday.

Impact Sorokin did not have his best performance Tuesday, coughing up goals in each period and multiple goals in the first and second periods. This now marks back-to-back starts where Sorokin has coughed up five goals, but his standing as the Islanders' workhorse netminder isn't in any danger. His next opportunity to bounce back could come Thursday versus the Senators.

Gets starting nod Tuesday Sorokin will tend the home twine against Colorado on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Sorokin is coming off a disappointing outing against the Devils in which he gave up five goals on 39 shots (.872 save percentage) but was still able to salvage his team a point with the overtime defeat. In fact, the Russian netminder has yet to suffer a regulations defeat through his opening three games of the season. Sorokin saw action in 62 games last year and figures to once again top the 60-game mark this time around, making him a top-end fantasy target due to sheer volume.

Eats a lot of rubber in OT loss Sorokin was peppered for five goals on 39 shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss against the Devils.

Impact Sorokin was helped very little with several bad penalties leading to five power-play opportunities for the Devils, who scored four times in those situations. Sorokin didn't play poorly, and he allowed only one even-strength goal, a 3-on-3 goal by Jack Hughes in overtime. The Islanders are back in action Saturday against the Sabres, but Sorokin is likely to see his next start Tuesday against the Avalanche.

Expected to start Friday Per Andrew Gross of Newsday, Sorokin was the first netminder off the ice at morning practice, indicating he will defend the home crease versus New Jersey on Friday.

Impact Sorokin is coming off a shutout win over Arizona on Thursday in which he was required to make only 14 saves. Sorokin has won both his starts this season, giving up two goals on 42 shots overall. Sorokin was 1-1-0 against the Devils last season, stopping 69 of 73 shots sent his way in those contests.

Starting against Arizona Per Andrew Gross of Newsday, Sorokin was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, putting him on track to guard the home goal versus the Coyotes on Tuesday.

Impact Sorokin was solid in his season debut Saturday against the Sabres, stopping 26 of 28 shots en route to a 3-2 victory. He'll try to pick up a second straight win in a home matchup with an Arizona team coming off a 2-1 loss to the Rangers on Monday.

Holds Sabres to two goals Sorokin turned aside 26 of 28 shots in a 3-2 win over Buffalo on Saturday.

Impact Buffalo ranked third offensively with an average of 3.57 goals per game last year, so holding the Sabres to a pair of goals is not an easy feat. Sorokin did fairly well against the Sabres last year too, though, saving 64 of 69 shots over two contests against them. Overall last season, the 28-year-old goaltender posted a 31-22-7 record, 2.34 GAA and .924 save percentage in 62 contests.

First off ice Saturday Per Andrew Gross of Newsday, Sorokin was the first goaltender off the ice Saturday, indicating he will guard the home crease versus the Sabres this evening.

Impact Sorokin is one of the top-three goaltenders in the NHL, so it's no surprise that he will get the Opening Night start. Sorokin was 31-22-7 with a 2.34 GAA and .924 save percentage in 2022-23, including going 1-0-1 against the Sabres, stopping 64 of 69 shots.

Signs eight-year extension Sorokin signed an eight-year, $66 million contract extension with the Islanders on Saturday, according to his agent Dan Milstein.

Impact That's a huge signing for the Islanders as Sorokin is considered one of the top five goaltenders in the NHL. The talented 27-year-old was 31-22-7 with a 2.34 GAA and .924 save percentage last season. He should be a high fantasy selection for the 2023-24 season.

Drops heartbreaker in OT on Friday Sorokin stopped 39 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 6 of the Islanders' first-round series.

Impact The 27-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period and looked like he might single-handedly force a Game 7, but Sebastian Aho knocked down a puck that was going well wide and tapped it across the line with about 10 minutes left in regulation, before Paul Stastny ended the series with a bad-angle goal six minutes into OT. Sorokin wraps up his playoff run this season with a 2.60 GAA and .924 save percentage, and he'll head into 2023-24 as the unquestioned No. 1 goalie for the Isles.

Slated to start Friday Sorokin is set to guard the home crease in Game 6 against Carolina on Friday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact Sorokin stopped 34 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Hurricanes to force Game 6. He's 2-3 with a 2.77 GAA and a .917 save percentage in five playoff contests this year. Carolina had the 15th-ranked offense with 3.20 goals per game in the regular season.

Impact Sorokin struggled in Sunday's Game 4, surrendering five goals on just 29 shots en route to a 5-2 home defeat. The 27-year-old goaltender will undoubtedly need to be better on the road Tuesday for the Islanders to have any chance to stave off elimination and return to New York for Game 6 on Friday.

Bounces back to force Game 6 Sorokin stopped 34 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Sorokin rebounded from a 5-2 loss in Game 4 with an excellent performance in Game 5, stopping 34 shots to keep the Islanders alive. Overall, the 27-year-old Sorokin has been solid in the series with a .923 save percentage and 2.77 GAA. He'll be back between the pipes Friday for another must-win game on Long Island.

In goal for Game 4 Sorokin will patrol the home crease Sunday in Game 4 against Carolina, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Sorokin is coming off a 30-save performance in Friday's 5-1 win over the Hurricanes. He has a 1-2 record this postseason, having stopped 97 of 104 shots. Carolina sits 15th in the playoffs with 2.33 goals per game.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets little help in Sunday's loss Sorokin stopped 24 shots during a 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4 of the Islanders' first-round series.

Impact The Isles were in a 4-0 hole before they managed to get on the board in the third period, and Sorokin was hardly at fault for the deficit as the four Canes goals came on two power plays, one clean breakaway and one two-on-one after a brutal neutral zone giveaway by Alexander Romanov. Sorokin's 1-3 record to begin the postseason belies his performance to date, and he'll try to keep his team alive in Game 5 on Tuesday.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp in Game 3 win Sorokin turned aside 30 shots Friday in a 5-1 win over the Hurricanes during Game 3 of the Islanders' first-round series.

Impact Jesper Fast beat him for a short-handed tally late in the second period, but otherwise Sorokin had an answer for everything Carolina fired his way. The netminder has played extremely well to begin the playoffs, posting a 2.29 GAA and .933 save percentage, but a lack of goal support in the first two games has the Isles staring at a 2-1 series deficit heading into Game 4 on Sunday.
