Hangs on for first win of season Sorokin turned aside 29 shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Senators.

Impact The 30-year-old netminder got beaten four times in the first two periods, but Sorokin slammed the door shut on Ottawa over the final 20 minutes as the Islanders mounted a comeback. Sorokin has given up exactly four goals in four straight starts to begin the season, but Saturday marked the first time he got enough offensive support to get into the win column, leaving him with a 1-3-0 record, 4.13 GAA and .861 save percentage.

Set for Saturday start Sorokin will tend the twine on the road against the Senators on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact It will be David Rittich getting the nod for Thursday's home clash with Edmonton before Sorokin makes his fourth appearance of the year for the Isles. The 30-year-old Sorokin remains winless through this season, going 0-3-0 with a 4.19 GAA and .854 save percentage. If Sorokin continues to struggle, it's possible that David Rittich gets more opportunities between the pipes.

Ilya Sorokin's Start Isn't Pretty — But It's Not The Whole Story New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin will be the first to tell you he isn't playing his best brand of hockey.

OCTOBER 14, 2025 • THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM

Drops third straight start Sorokin saved 21 of 25 shots on target in Monday's 5-2 loss to Winnipeg.

Impact Sorokin surrendered two goals in each of the first two periods, including a power-play tally from Nino Niederreiter midway through the first period. Outside of the first 32 minutes, Sorokin then kept the Jets off the scoresheet with the lone goal of the third period being scored on an empty net by Mark Schiefele. Through three starts this season, Sorokin has a 0-3-0 record, a 4.21 GAA and an .854 save percentage. It's an unfortunate start to the year for Sorokin, who made small improvements and won 30 games in 61 regular-season appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. If the 30-year-old's sluggish start continues, it might be tough to start him in standard leagues. For the time being, Sorokin has solid value in fantasy overall, as he should continue to see a bulk of the workload in net. He will likely take a breather sometime in the next few contests when newly-acquired David Rittich makes his debut for the team, but should see a workhorse load of games over the next few weeks.

Will start Monday Sorokin will be the Islanders' starting netminder for Monday's contest against the Jets, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Sunday.

Impact It was an early call for the Islanders well over 24 hours from puck drop: Sorokin will get another chance in net Monday. The 30-year-old has allowed four goals in both of his starts this season, losing both. He'll have another chance to get his first win of the season, but a high-flying Jets offense with seven goals in the opening two games will present a tough task on the other side.

Surrenders four goals Sorokin stopped 25 of 29 shots on target in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Sorokin struggled early on in Saturday's contest, allowing the first four goals of the game across 36 minutes. However, he kept the Capitals off the scoresheet in the third period, allowing Islanders rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer to steal the show with the period's lone goal. With the loss, the 30-year-old Sorokin has a 0-2-0 record, a 4.21 GAA and a .860 save percentage through two appearances. It's an unfortunate start to the season for Sorokin, who was one of ten goalies to reach the 30-win mark last season. Despite the struggles, his fantasy ceiling remains open as he is set to be the clear No. 1 option ahead of David Rittich. If the Islanders can strengthen their defensive play ahead of Sorokin, he could continue to build upon his solid campaign from last season, making him a strong goaltending option in all fantasy formats.

If the Islanders can strengthen their defensive play in front of Sorokin, he could continue to build upon his solid campaign from last season, giving him upside in all fantasy formats.

Starting Saturday Sorokin will guard the home goal against Washington on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Sorokin stopped 24 shots in Thursday's 4-3 road loss to Pittsburgh. He will be back between the pipes for the Islanders' home opener. During the 2024-25 regular season, he went 1-1-0 with a 1.53 GAA and a .953 save percentage in two appearances versus the Capitals.

Comes up short against Pens Sorokin made 24 saves in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Justin Brazeau got sprung for a clear rush from the blue line against Sorokin late in the third period, and the 30-year-old netminder wasn't able to come up with another big stop to preserve a 3-3 tie. The Islanders are projected to be one the weaker squads in the NHL this season, which will likely prevent Sorokin from regaining the elite ratios he was posting a couple years ago, but with Semyon Varlamov (knee) out indefinitely and David Rittich as his primary backup, he could also be headed for a career-high workload -- he's handled between 52 and 62 appearances in each of the last four seasons.
