Backstops comeback win Sorokin stopped 22 of 24 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.

Impact Sorokin gave up both goals early in the second period. The Islanders responded by scoring four times in the third to get the comeback win. Sorokin has won five of his last eight outings, allowing two or fewer goals in five of those contests. The 29-year-old improved to 25-20-5 with a 2.73 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 50 appearances as one of the busiest goalies in the league this season. The Islanders' next game is on the road Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

First off Sunday Sorokin will start at home Sunday against the Panthers, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Sorokin has been sharp recently, going 4-2-1 with a .925 save percentage in his last seven outings. He'll have a tough task Sunday, however, against a Panthers team that's averaging 3.21 goals per game. Overall, Sorokin is 24-20-5 with a .906 save percentage this year.

Tagged with OT loss Sorokin gave up two goals on 35 shots faced in Friday's overtime loss to the Oilers.

Impact Sorokin was beaten twice by Leon Draisaitl, one of the hottest players in the NHL right now thanks to his 17-game point streak, but other than that, he was excellent between the pipes. Sorokin has dropped his last two starts, but he's been very good of late despite what his record says. He's posted a save percentage of at least .900 in his last four appearances, going 2-1-1 with a 2.25 GAA and a .933 save percentage over that span.

Facing Oilers Sorokin will defend the home crease versus Edmonton on Friday, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Sorokin is 4-2-0 in his last six starts, allowing 15 goals on 193 shots (.922 save percentage). Overall, the 29-year-old netminder is 24-20-4 with three shutouts, a 2.77 GAA and a .905 save percentage. The Oilers will be a tired team after losing 3-2 in New Jersey on Thursday. Edmonton is generating 3.22 goals per game in 2024-25, ninth in the NHL.

Falls to Kings Sorokin stopped 28 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Kings. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Sorokin can't be blamed much here, as the Islanders failed to cash in on any of their eight power plays while giving up two shorthanded goals. This was just Sorokin's second loss in six outings. He's now at a 24-20-4 record with a 2.77 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 48 appearances this season. The Islanders' next game is at home Friday in a tough matchup versus the Oilers, so fantasy managers may want to have an alternate option in place instead of Sorokin.

Receiving start Tuesday Sorokin will be in goal on the road versus the Kings on Tuesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Sorokin has won four of his last five starts, allowing just 12 goals in that span. The Kings have scored 14 goals over their last six games, going 2-3-1 in that span, so this could be a favorable matchup for Sorokin.

MARCH 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Steady in win Sorokin stopped 38 of 40 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Sorokin was busy, but he got the job done, limiting the damage to power-play goals from Nikolai Kovalenko and Will Smith. This was Sorokin's fourth win in his last five outings, and he's allowed just 12 goals in that span. He'll continue to see a heavy workload at least until Marcus Hogberg (upper body) returns -- Semyon Varlamov (lower body) is not expected back this season. Sorokin is now 24-19-4 with a 2.76 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 47 appearances this season. Look for Jakub Skarek to get the nod Sunday in Anaheim before Sorokin wraps up the road trip versus the Kings on Tuesday.

Starting first game of road trip Sorokin will tend the road twine Saturday versus the Sharks, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Sorokin was solid in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Jets, turning aside 26 of 28 shots on goal. Across five career outings against San Jose, the Russian netminder has a 2-0-3 record, .916 save percentage and 2.52 GAA. While the Sharks are tied for 29th in the NHL with 2.63 goals per game, they've scored at least three goals in five straight games, so it will not be an easy task for Sorokin.

Gets back to winning ways Sorokin stopped 26 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Jets.

Impact Sorokin might have been beaten twice, but the star netminder was solid enough to secure the win and bounce back from the 4-0 loss to the Rangers on Monday. Sorokin has won three of his last four starts, going 3-1-0 with a 2.53 GAA and a .918 save percentage over that stretch. That's a marked step forward from the four consecutive losses he suffered between Feb. 7 and Feb. 25, where he posted an .818 save percentage and a 5.02 GAA.

In goal again Tuesday Sorokin will guard the home goal versus the Jets on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Sorokin allowed three goals on 25 shots in Monday's loss to the Rangers, but he'll play again a day later. The 29-year-old is 4-5-0 with a 3.39 GAA and an .887 save percentage through nine appearances since the start of February. Sorokin is a risky fantasy play given the Islanders are on the second half of a back-to-back while playing against one of the best teams in the league.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No margin for error in loss Sorokin turned aside 22 of 25 shots in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Rangers, with the Blueshirts' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The Isles couldn't solve Igor Shesterkin in the other crease, and even the bounces went against Sorokin -- the Rangers' first goal late in the first period came on a shot from Zac Jones that deflected off Kyle Palmieri's skate, then off Will Cuylle's helmet, before fluttering into the net. Sorokin has started eight straight games while Semyon Varlamov (lower body) and Marcus Hogberg (upper body) have been on IR, going 3-5-0 with a 3.58 GAA and .880 save percentage, and coach Patrick Roy may be forced to turn to untested backup Jakub Skarek soon just to give his 29-year-old starter a breather.

Tending twine in Manhattan Sorokin will defend the road crease against the Rangers on Monday, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Sorokin will have a chance to avenge his loss to the Rangers on Feb. 25 -- he was pulled after allowing five goals on 11 shots in that game. The Russian netminder has a 3-5-2 career record against his divisional foe, though the Islanders will have the rest advantage Monday -- the Rangers are on the second half of a back-to-back.
