Ilya Sorokin - Page 17 - NHL News & Rumors

First goalie off Thursday Sorokin was the first goalie off Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating he'll start at home against the Blackhawks.

Impact Sorokin has been relatively effective in recent outings with a 2.29 GAA and .919 save percentage over his last six appearances, but he's had to settle for a 3-2-1 record during that time. Although the Islanders' offense remains lackluster, he'll have a favorable matchup Thursday, as the Blackhawks average just 2.39 goals per game, the third-worst mark in the league.

Gets little help in loss Sorokin stopped 27 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Kings, with Los Angeles' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The Isles only managed to put 20 shots on net against Darcy Kuemper, including a measly three in the first period, and Sorokin didn't get much support in his own end either -- Kevin Fiala's game-winner in the second period was fired through a partial screen supplied by Grant Hutton. Sorokin has started six straight games with Semyon Varlamov (lower body) unavailable, going 3-2-1 with a 2.29 GAA and .919 save percentage, and he could keep hold of the No. 1 job even once Varlamov is healthy rather than slipping back into a timeshare.

Kings defeat the Islanders 3-1 for their 6th straight win

Set to start versus Kings Sorokin is expected to get the starting nod at home against Los Angeles on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Sorokin will make his sixth straight start, having gone 3-1-1 with a 2.34 GAA and one shutout. Given his strong run of play, it's possible Sorokin would have featured in each of the previous five contests anyway but the injury to Semyon Varlamov (undisclosed) has left the Islanders will little choice than to roll with Sorokin in the crease. If they do decide to rest Sorokin -- which the Isles don't need to do with no back-to-back before the Christmas break -- it would fall to Marcus Hogberg to give Sorokin a night off.

Earns win Sunday Sorokin stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Senators.

Impact Thanks to this 29-save performance, Sorokin has now recorded back-to-back wins for the first time this season. Even though the 29-year-old Russian netminder has been wildly inconsistent, the recent signs show marked improvement. He's gone 3-1-1 with a 2.34 GAA and a .916 save percentage over his last five starts, and that percentage could be even higher hadn't it been for a 5-2 loss over Seattle in which he gave up four goals in just 13 shots on Dec. 5.

Starting again Sunday Sorokin will guard the road goal versus Ottawa on Sunday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Sorokin made 28 saves in Saturday's 4-3 win over Carolina and will play again due to the absence of Semyon Varlamov (lower body). The 29-year-old Sorokin has a 7-7-4 record with one shutout, a 2.64 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 18 appearances this season. Ottawa ranks 14th in the league with 3.08 goals per game and registered a 3-1 win over Nashville on Saturday.

Comes up big down stretch Saturday Sorokin turned aside 28 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact The Islanders took a 4-2 lead into the third period, and Sorokin had to stand on his head to make it hold up -- Carolina out-shot New York 19-2 in the final frame, but the 29-year-old netminder didn't let a puck get by him until there were just 49 seconds left in the game and the 'Canes had their goalie pulled for an extra attacker. Sorokin has started four straight games with Semyon Varlamov (lower body) unavailable, going 2-1-1 with a 2.43 GAA and .910 save percentage, but he'll likely cede the crease to Marcus Hogberg for Sunday's game in Ottawa.

Slated to face Carolina Sorokin is set to start in Saturday's home tilt versus Carolina, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Impact Sorokin will attempt to rebound after surrendering four goals on 13 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Seattle. He's 6-7-4 with a 2.62 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 17 outings in 2024-25. The Hurricanes are having a great campaign with a 17-8-1 record, and they rank fourth in goals per game with 3.77.

DECEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Pulled after two periods Sorokin stopped nine of 13 shots before he was relieved by Marcus Hogberg in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact The Kraken didn't generate a ton of offense, but they capitalized on their chances efficiently. Sorokin has allowed more than three goals just twice over his last seven outings, but he's 2-4-1 in that span as the Islanders' offense remains unreliable. The 29-year-old is down to 6-7-4 with a 2.62 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 17 starts this season. Sorokin matched his season high with his third consecutive start, but he may be asked to go again Saturday in a tough matchup against the Hurricanes if Semyon Varlamov (lower body) remains unavailable.

Tending twine Thursday Sorokin will be between the home pipes versus Seattle on Thursday, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Sorokin will make his third straight start as backup netminder Semyon Varlamov is hurting with a lower-back injury. Sorokin has given up two goals on 56 shots in his last two starts as he is starting to return to form after a tough stretch from Nov. 1-Nov. 16 in which he allowed at least three goals in six consecutive starts. Sorokin will face the Kraken, who are averaging 2.85 goals per game. Marcus Hogberg was recalled Thursday and could be the backup for Sorokin if Varlamov is unable to dress.

Loses goalie battle Sorokin allowed two goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to Montreal.

Impact Sorokin, who was coming off his first shutout of the season, had another strong game, but Montreal's Sam Montembeault was his equal. Both showed up for battle of goaltenders. Aside from a five-goal stinker against the Bruins last Wednesday, Sorokin's had four quality outings in the last five starts. He lowered his goals-against average to 2.48 and save percentage to .916 heading into Thursday's home game against the Kraken.

Facing Canadiens Sorokin will guard the road goal against Montreal on Tuesday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Impact Sorokin is coming off a 29-save shutout win over Buffalo on Saturday. He has a 6-6-3 record with a 2.52 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 15 appearances this season. Montreal ranks 20th in the league with 2.83 goals per game in 2024-25.

Posts 29-save shutout Saturday Sorokin stopped all 29 shots he faced en route to a 3-0 shutout win over the Sabres on Saturday.

Impact Sorokin had a tough night in his most recent start, allowing five goals on only 20 shots in a 6-3 loss to Boston on Wednesday, but he bounced back admirably in this one and posted his first shutout of the campaign. Sorokin had a fair share of uneven performances in November, but he might be turning things around. He's won in two of his last three starts while posting a save percentage of .930 or higher in three of his previous four appearances, giving up two or fewer goals three times in that stretch. Sorokin has gone 6-6-3 on the season while posting a .915 save percentage.

Starting Saturday Sorokin will be between the home pipes versus Buffalo on Saturday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Sorokin had a tough night Wednesday, allowing five goals on only 20 shots in a 6-3 loss to Boston. He is 5-6-3 with a 2.70 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 14 starts this season. The Sabres were averaging 3.09 goals per game, ahead of Friday's game against Vancouver.

Another loss Wednesday Sorokin stopped 15 of 20 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins, with Boston's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The Islanders never led in the game, but they'd battled the Bruins to a 3-3 tie midway through the third period before Pavel Zacha was able to get two pucks past Sorokin in a three-minute stretch. The 29-year-old netminder has only one win in his last six starts, going 1-3-2 with a 3.17 GAA and .893 save percentage, and he appears to be slipping back into a timeshare with Semyon Varlamov.
