Sorokin stopped 18 of 24 shots in Monday's 7-1 loss to the Sabres. Buffalo also scored on an empty net in the third period.
Those six goals are the most Sorokin's allowed in a single game in 2024-25. The Russian netminder hasn't been at his best of late, going 2-3-0 over his last five appearances while posting an absurdly high 4.54 GAA and a poor .836 save percentage. The Christmas break should give Sorokin some much-needed rest amid this woeful stretch of form.
