Ilya Sorokin - Page 6 - NHL News & Rumors

Allows three goals in loss Sorokin stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche. Colorado's third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The Avalanche scored twice in a span of 1:19 during the second period, and that was enough to stick Sorokin with the loss. In the final minute, Martin Necas scored an empty-netter and Brock Nelson tipped in a goal to put the game out of the Islanders' reach. Sorokin's three-game winning streak came to an end, but he's allowed a modest 12 goals over his last six outings to stabilize his season. The 30-year-old netminder is now 6-5-2 with a 2.91 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 13 starts. The Islanders' road trip takes them into another tough matchup when they visit Dallas on Tuesday.

Draws start in Denver Sorokin will occupy the crease Sunday in Colorado, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Sorokin has won three straight games and four of his last five, posting a 4-0-1 record, 1.75 GAA and .939 save percentage during that run of success. While the Russian netminder has turned things around after a shaky start to the season, he'll face an incredibly tough challenge against the league's top team Sunday. The Avalanche are 6-0-2 on home ice and have scored 74 goals through 18 games, which is seven more than any other team in the NHL.

Collects another overtime win Sorokin stopped 26 of 29 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Things looked grim when the Islanders took a penalty in overtime, but Jean-Gabriel Pageau turned it around with a faceoff win into a shorthanded rush chance, which he buried for the game-winning goal. This was Sorokin's third straight win, and he's allowed just five goals on 97 shots in that span. For the season, the 30-year-old netminder is up to 6-4-2 with a 2.90 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 12 starts, but he's clearly trending up. David Rittich will start Friday in Utah, but Sorokin is likely to get the nod for Sunday's game in Colorado, which will be arguably his biggest test yet this season.

Expected to start Thursday in Vegas Sorokin is scheduled to tend the road twine Thursday against the Golden Knights, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Tuesday.

Impact Sorokin has won back-to-back games and three of his last four while allowing two goals or less in three of those contests. The Russian netminder had to be sharp in New Jersey on Monday -- the Devils generated 25 high-danger chances, per Andrew Gross of Newsday. Sorokin appears to be rounding into form after a slow start to the season, and he'll head to Vegas with a 5-4-2 record, 2.90 GAA and .898 save percentage over 11 starts.

Keeps rolling in OT win Sorokin made 33 saves in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Devils.

Impact Sorokin nearly picked up the win in regulation, but Simon Nemec blasted a shot through heavy traffic with five seconds left in the third period to tie it up. The Islanders made it up their netminder, not allowing a shot in OT before Mathew Barzal potted the winner. Sorokin has just one loss in his last eight starts, going 5-1-2 with a 2.45 GAA and .914 save percentage during that span, and over his last four outings he's given up just six goals on 118 shots (.949 save percentage).

First goalie off Monday Sorokin was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, signaling that he'll draw the road start against New Jersey.

Impact Sorokin is coming off his first shutout win of the season, as he turned aside all 33 shots he faced against the Rangers on Saturday. He'll attempt to remain effective against a more formidable opponent in the Devils, who have scored 3.40 goals per game this year, which ranks seventh in the NHL.

Shuts out division rival Sorokin saved all 33 shots on goal in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Rangers.

Impact Saturday's outing was not only Sorokin's first shutout of the season, but a much-needed performance after a sluggish start to the year. Overall, the 30-year-old netminder has a 4-4-2 record with a 3.00 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 10 appearances. After three regulation losses to start the year, Sorokin has only lost inside the first three periods once in his last seven games. His play is trending upwards and if he can continue to find the win column every other game, he can be trusted again in most fantasy formats. For now, however, it is good to have a backup plan if Sorokin falls back into a slump. His next chance to take the ice is Monday against New Jersey.

Set to start Saturday Sorokin is slated to start Saturday's road game against the Rangers, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Sorokin has had some early-season struggles, going 3-4-2 with a 3.33 GAA and .879 save percentage over his first nine appearances of the season, but he's still started the majority of the games in the crease for the Islanders. He'll tend the twine in the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday and will have a favorable matchup against the Rangers, who are averaging a league-worst 2.21 goals per game this season.

Shootout loss but signs of life Sorokin made 24 saves in a 4-3 shootout loss to Boston on Tuesday.

Impact He allowed just one goal in the shootout. Sorokin and the Isles continue to scuffle this season. He's 3-4-2 with a 3.33 GAA and .879 save percentage in nine starts. That save percentage is 38th in the NHL. His GAA is 55th. Those simply don't compute with Sorokin's career averages of 2.60 GAA and .915 save percentage. There may be some signs of life, though. Sorokin has played four games (1-1-2) with new goalie coach, Sergei Naumovs, who successfully coached the netminder in the KHL from 2018-2020. In the four games, he allowed four goals just once compared to four of his first five games with former goalie coach, coach Piero Greco. You may be able to buy low now before Sorokin really starts to stabilize his game.
