Starting vs. Caps Sorokin will guard the home net Sunday against the Capitals, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Sorokin was sharp in his last outing, turning aside 27 of 28 shots in a victory, snapping a four-game losing streak. The 29-year-old netminder is 28-23-6 with a .905 save percentage and 2.76 GAA on the campaign. Sorokin will have a tough matchup with a Washington team that's averaging a league-best 3.62 goals per game.

Quiets Wild Sorokin stopped 27 of 28 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Sorokin snapped a four-game losing streak with one of his best games in the last two months. The 29-year-old limited the damage to a Mats Zuccarello tally in the second period. Sorokin's recent struggles have torpedoed the Islanders' playoff chances, but he's still 28-23-6 with a 2.76 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 57 appearances. Next up will be a tough matchup versus the Capitals on Sunday. Assuming he gets the start, Sorokin will look to maintain his status as one of the few goalies Alex Ovechkin hasn't scored on, while the Capitals' captain tries to take sole possession of the all-time goals record.

Exits ice first Friday Sorokin was the first goalie to leave the ice Friday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Minnesota.

Impact Sorokin is mired in a personal four-game losing streak, during which he is 0-3-1 with a 3.76 GAA, while the Islanders have dropped six in a row (0-4-2). The 29-year-old netminder is stuck just three victories shy of getting back to the 30-win mark after missing that threshold last season. With New York not technically eliminated from playoff contention -- though running out of time to get there -- Sorokin could see extra work down the stretch.

Four straight losses Sorokin made 19 saves in a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Impact Sorokin allowed three goals, including two blocker side, in the loss. Unfortunately, the Isles have lost six straight; four of those have come with Sorokin in net. The team is five points from the second wild card, and the Russian netminder is going to have to perform miracles to get them to the postseason.

In goal Tuesday Sorokin will get the starting nod at home against the Lightning on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Sorokin is mired in a three-game losing streak during which he posted a 4.02 GAA, .847 save percentage and a 0-2-1 record. The Isles can't afford to drop any more games if they are going to try to push for a wild-card spot, which could mean a heavy workload down the stretch for Sorokin, even factoring in his current subpar form.

Three straight losses Sorokin made 19 saves in a 5-3 loss to Toronto on Saturday.

Impact The Bolts put up a 4-0 lead on Sorokin, but the snipes really weren't on him. Even Bolts coach Jon Cooper said post-game that they really didn't deserve that lead. Sorokin hasn't won since March 20 (0-2-1), and he has allowed 11 goals in that span. Still, he's the reason the Isles are just one point behind the Blue Jackets for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference.

Impact With the Isles sitting one point back of the Canadiens for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, coach Patrick Roy made a desperation move to try and wake up his squad after New York fell behind 4-2, but it didn't work.

He ranks sixth across the league in wins and has a chance to meet the 30-win mark for the second time in his five-year career. He has great value in fantasy ahead of the playoffs with the Islanders making a late-season push for a Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.
