Good effort not enough Sorokin stopped 33 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Capitals. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Impact Sorokin played well, but a pair of Dylan Strome goals over the first two periods accounted for the difference. Strome also scored an empty-netter. Sorokin lost for the first time in four outings and is now 30-24-6 with a 2.71 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 61 outings. It's not quite the level of play he had in his first three NHL seasons, but this season has been better than last year for Sorokin. The Islanders have not yet named their starter for Thursday's season finale versus the Blue Jackets.

Leaves ice first Sorokin was the first goalie to exit the ice Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home against the Caps.
Impact Sorokin is coming off a 25-save shutout victory over the Devils on Sunday, his fourth shutout of the year. If the 29-year-old backstop can secure a victory versus Washington, he would match his career high of 31 wins from back in 2022-23 and could set a new personal best if he gets the nod against the Jackets on the road Thursday.

Earns shutout in New Jersey Sorokin registered a 25-save shutout in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Devils.
Impact The shutout was Sorokin's fourth of the season, and he has now reached the 30-win mark for the second time in the last three years. This was the Russian netminder's first start since missing two games due to a lower-body injury, and the time off didn't affect the groove he's in this month -- the 29-year-old is 3-1-0 with a .930 save percentage and a 1.93 GAA over five appearances in April. The Islanders are eliminated from postseason contention, and with just two games remaining on their schedule, it's possible Sorokin splits starts with Marcus Hogberg to close out 2024-25.

Returning Sunday Sorokin (lower body) will get the start Sunday on the road against the Devils, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Impact Sorokin will be back between the pipes after missing New York's previous two games with a lower-body injury. The 29-year-old Sorokin is 29-23-6 on the year with a .905 save percentage and 2.77 GAA.

Still sidelined Sorokin (lower body) is unavailable Saturday against the Flyers, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Impact Sorokin will miss a second straight game as he recovers from a lower-body injury. Marcus Hogberg will get the start against the Flyers with Tristan Lennox backing him up. The Islanders will have three remaining regular-season games after Saturday -- the earliest Sorokin could return is Sunday against the Devils.

Won't play against Rangers Sorokin (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's home game against the Rangers, NHL.com reports.
Impact Sorokin sustained a lower-body injury during Tuesday's game against the Predators, and head coach Patrick Roy said Thursday that the netminder doesn't have a timetable to return. The Islanders have just four games remaining on their regular-season schedule following Thursday's matchup, so it's unclear whether Sorokin will return to game action before the end of the regular season. Marcus Hogberg will likely serve as the Islanders' primary netminder in Sorokin's absence, while Tristan Lennox will be available as a backup.

Suffering from lower-body injury Coach Patrick Roy said Thursday that Sorokin is out with a lower-body injury, not a back issue, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Impact Sorokin is expected to miss Thursday's tilt versus the Rangers. He is 29-23-6 with a 2.77 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 59 appearances this season. Look for Marcus Hogberg to start Thursday with emergency callup Tristan Lennox as the backup goaltender. Consider Sorokin day-to-day at this time.

Absent from practice Thursday Sorokin (upper body) missed Thursday's game-day skate, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, indicating he won't be available at home versus the Rangers.
Impact The Islanders haven't made any official announcements yet on a netminder for Thursday's matchup, but Sorokin's absence would seem to indicate that Marcus Hogberg will get the nod while the recently recalled Tristan Lennox serves as the backup. Considering Sorokin has played in 28 of the Isles' last 32 games -- going 16-9-2 with a 2.65 GAA -- they almost certainly would have continued to give him a heavy workload until they are officially eliminated from playoff contention.

Leaves Tuesday's game Sorokin (undisclosed) exited Tuesday's game versus the Predators prior to the third period, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Impact Sorokin got run into in his crease during the second period. He allowed four goals on 23 shots prior to his exit, but Sorokin was not on the bench when Marcus Hogberg took over in goal to begin the third period, which suggests an injury is the concern. The Islanders are unlikely to make the playoffs with or without Sorokin given the Canadiens' surge up the standings, but Sorokin's status looms large over the final week of the campaign.
