  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Allows three late goals Tuesday

    Sorokin turned aside 18 of 21 shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Red Wings.

    Sorokin kept New York's net tidy through the first two periods before the Red Wings scored three goals, including two on the power play, across the final 20 minutes. With the loss, he now has a 12-9-2 record with a 2.52 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 23 appearances this season. Tuesday's loss ended a five-game win streak for Sorokin, who has been one of the league's strongest netminders over the past month. In his last 10 games, the 30-year-old goalie has six wins, a 2.01 GAA and a .927 save percentage. Despite the late collapse Tuesday, Sorokin remains a top option in fantasy between the pipes with the Islanders in the heart of the playoff race in the Metropolitan Division. His next chance to take the ice is Friday against the new-look Canucks.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Tending twine Tuesday

    Sorokin will patrol the crease on the road versus the Red Wings on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Sorokin enters Tuesday's tilt riding a five-game winning streak during which he is sporting a 1.94 GAA with one shutout. Something will have to give in Tuesday's matchup, as Detroit netminder John Gibson is working on a five-game run of wins of his own. Sorokin's 12 victories this year are two off the NHL-leading pace being set by Scott Wedgewood, Jake Oettinger, Karel Vejmelka and Sergei Bobrovsky.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Fifth straight win

    Sorokin made 32 saves in a 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning on Saturday.

    The Islanders got off to a good start and went up 2-0 by the mid-point of the opening period. Sorokin made several key saves while allowing just two goals when his team buckled a bit in front of him. He has made 162 saves (.942 save percentage) during his active five-game winning streak, and he's the backbone of the team's second-place spot in the Metropolitan Division.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Holds on for shootout win

    Sorokin turned aside 33 of 37 shots on net in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

    Despite allowing two goals in each of the first and third periods of Tuesday's contest, Sorokin hung on to win in the shootout, which included him making a save against Jack Eichel. With the win, Sorokin is up to an 11-8-2 record with a 2.53 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 21 appearances. The 30-year-old netminder has helped lead the Isles to a win in each of his last four starts. In that span, he's made 30 saves or more in each game, which moved him up to sixth in saves across the NHL. Sorokin is back to playing at an elite level, making him a top goaltending option in most fantasy formats that track saves. His next chance to take the ice is Thursday against the Ducks.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Exits ice first Tuesday

    Sorokin was the first goalie off the ice ahead of Tuesday's home clash with Vegas, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in goal.

    Sorokin recorded his third shutout of the season, his last time out, extending his winning streak to three games. The veteran netminder sits behind Jesper Wallstedt for the league lead (four) in shutouts this year. Fantasy managers can likely expect Sorokin to sit near the top of the list of games played this year, which makes him a high-end fantasy option.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Posts third shutout of season

    Sorokin made 32 saves in a 2-0 win over the Lightning on Saturday.

    Sorokin was especially sharp in the second period when he denied Anthony Cirelli twice during a Tampa Bay power play. Sorokin also stymied Brandon Hagel right after the man-advantage situation expired. It was Sorokin's third shutout of the season and 25th in the NHL. He's put up three straight wins, including two this week over the Bolts.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Facing Lightning

    Sorokin will guard the road crease in Tampa Bay on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Sorokin will make his fourth consecutive start and has won his last two games, giving up four goals on 69 shots in impressive wins over Colorado and Tampa Bay. Overall, the netminder is 9-8-2 with a 2.60 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 19 appearances this season. The Lightning scored only once on 31 shots Tuesday in their loss to Sorokin and the Islanders.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Solid effort in win

    Sorokin stopped 35 shots on 38 attempts on net in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Avalanche.

    Sorokin tended a clean first 28 minutes before he allowed back-to-back goals midway through the second period. Outside of one more goal inside the first two minutes of the third period, he cruised to his second consecutive win. With the victory, the 30-year-old netminder is up to a 9-8-2 record with a .906 save percentage and a 2.60 GAA through 19 appearances this year. His 35 saves Thursday were one stop shy of his season-high, proving he can help guide the Islanders to a run-and-gun win. After a sluggish start to the season, Sorokin has been on fire in his last nine starts with five wins, a 1.81 GAA and a .932 save percentage. He should be rostered in nearly all two-goalie fantasy formats moving forward with the Isles just two points out of a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division. His next chance to take the ice is Saturday against Tampa Bay, who would welcome the chance to see Sorokin again after he tended a 30-save statement win over the Lightning on Tuesday.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: First goalie off Thursday

    Sorokin was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Avalanche.

    Sorokin was in the starter's crease during morning skate, so it isn't very particularly surprising to see him draw the start against Colorado. He put an end to a three-game losing streak Tuesday against the Lightning, turning aside 30 of 31 shots (.968 save percentage) in a 2-1 victory. He started on the road against Colorado on Nov. 16, and he allowed three goals on 27 shots (.889 save percentage) en route to a 4-1 loss.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Spectacular in win over Tampa

    Sorokin made 27 saves in a 2-1 win over the Lightning on Tuesday.

    Sorokin carried a shutout to the 16:26 mark of the third period when Dominic James curled out from below the goal line and banked a wrist shot off his glove. Sorokin was spectacular at times, including a filthy left pad save on an Anthony Cirelli backhand in the second period after the Bolts pivot got behind the Isles D. The 30-year-old Sorokin ended Tampa's seven-game winning streak and snapped his own three-game losing streak in the process.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Leaves ice first

    Sorokin was the first goalie to exit the ice Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, indicating that he'll tend the twine at home versus Tampa.

    Sorokin is mired in a three-game losing streak despite posting a 2.47 GAA and an .868 save percentage along the way. While the netminder is sporting a GAA better than his last two campaigns, he has struggled to pick up wins, recording just seven victories in 17 outings.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Allows two goals Sunday

    Sorokin stopped 14 of 16 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Capitals. The last two goals were empty-netters.

    Sorokin was beaten twice by Tom Wilson, once in the first period and again in the second. The Islanders pulled one back in the third, but Washington took advantage after Sorokin left for an extra attacker, scoring two late goals. Sorokin has lost in his last three starts, giving up seven goals on 52 shots in that stretch.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Sunday starter

    Sorokin will start Sunday's matinee contest with the Capitals, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Sorokin has lost back-to-back starts but didn't get much goal support in either contest, as the Islanders scored only one goal both times. The 30-year-old has allowed three goals or fewer in each of his last nine starts. He'll take a 7-7-2 record, 2.70 GAA and .901 save percentage into a battle with a Capitals team that he held to just one goal on 23 shots on Halloween.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Surrenders three in loss

    Sorokin stopped 11 of 14 shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Boston.

    Sorokin didn't face many shots and struggled in the defeat. He allowed a shorthanded goal to Alex Steeves midway through the third period, which put the game out of reach for the Islanders. With the loss, Sorokin has a 7-7-2 record with a 2.70 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. Despite picking up his second consecutive loss, the 30-year-old twine protector has played at a higher level in November and hasn't allowed more than three goals in a game since Oct. 28. If he can find the win column soon and prove that the past two contests are nothing more than a quick slump, Sorokin's fantasy value should remain high.

    Sorokin was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Bruins.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Gets little help in loss

    Sorokin made 20 saves in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Blues.

    The 30-year-old netminder played well, but his teammates weren't able to solve Jordan Binnington until there were fewer than four minutes left in the third period. Sorokin has allowed three goals or fewer in eight straight starts, a stretch in which he's gone 5-2-1 with a dazzling .938 save percentage.

    Sorokin made 29 saves in Thursday's 5-0 win over Detroit.
