Top Ilya Sorokin News

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Loses third straight

    Sorokin made 26 saves on 31 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.

    The 28-year-old stopped all 12 shots he faced in the first period as the Islanders grabbed a 1-0 lead, but Sorokin's bubble burst 27 seconds into the second on a Mika Zibanejad one-timer, and the Rangers never looked back. Sorokin has lost three straight starts, but Sunday's outing was his first since Feb. 20 in which he's allowed more than three goals. Over that nine-start stretch, he's posted a 2.57 GAA and .903 save percentage.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Rattled by Sabres

    Sorokin stopped 33 of 36 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to Buffalo, with the Sabres' final goal coming into an empty net.

    The game looked like it might become a goaltending duel between Sorokin and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen after a scoreless first period, but the Sabres broke through with a power-play tally early in the second frame and never looked back. Sorokin has lost two straight starts on the heels of a five-start win streak, but he hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last eight outings, posting a .913 save percentage over that stretch.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Slated starter for Thursday

    Sorokin is expected to start on the road against Buffalo on Thursday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

    Sorokin has a 22-14-11 record, 2.99 GAA and .910 save percentage in 47 appearances in 2023-24. He's allowed two or fewer goals in each of his last four outings while winning three of those games. The Sabres rank 21st offensively with 2.94 goals per contest, so at a glance, they should be a somewhat favorable matchup for the hot goaltender. However, some caution might be warranted after Buffalo earned a 7-3 victory over Detroit on Tuesday.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Takes loss Monday

    Sorokin stopped 22 of 24 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Kings. The third goal was an empty-netter.

    Sorokin didn't get any help from his teammates in the second half of a back-to-back. The 28-year-old saw his five-game winning streak snapped, but he still hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last seven outings. Sorokin is down to 22-14-11 with a 2.99 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 47 outings. The Islanders wrap up their road trip in Buffalo on Thursday.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Slated starter for Monday

    Sorokin is expected to start on the road against LA on Monday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Saturday.

    Semyon Varlamov will get the nod Sunday versus Anaheim. Sorokin has won his last five starts while saving 116 of 126 shots (.921 save percentage). He's 22-13-11 with a 3.01 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 46 outings this season. The Kings have a 32-19-11 record but are just 13-10-7 at home, so this might be a somewhat favorable matchup for Sorokin.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: No trouble from Sharks

    Sorokin stopped 23 of 25 shots in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

    The Islanders' offense did more than enough to support Sorokin in this lopsided win. This was his fifth win in a row, and he's allowed just 10 goals in that span. That's more like the Sorokin fantasy managers know and love, a refreshing return to form for the 28-year-old late in the season. He's now 22-13-11 with a 3.01 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 46 appearances this season. The Islanders' road trip continues with a back-to-back against the Ducks on Sunday and the Kings on Monday -- look for Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov to split those starts.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Starting in San Jose

    Sorokin will patrol the road crease versus the Sharks on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Sorokin has been on a roll recently, picking up four straight wins while posting an admirable 1.98 GAA and .921 save percentage. He'll try to secure his 22nd victory of the season in a juicy road matchup with an awful San Jose squad that's averaging only 2.30 goals at home this year, 31st in the NHL.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Light work in win

    Sorokin allowed two goals on 21 shots in a 4-2 win over the Blues on Tuesday.

    The Blues struck first on Sorokin, getting a two-goal lead in the second period, but he was able to kick aside the remaining 10 shots sent his way for the win. Sorokin has been hot of late as this was his fourth win in a row -- he has not allowed more than three goals since Feb. 20. The Islanders, now with four consecutive wins, are still in the playoff hunt. This could lead to an increased workload for Sorokin, potentially providing an opportunity for additional wins and continued strong peripheral stats.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Starting Tuesday

    Sorokin will protect the home net Tuesday against St. Louis, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Sorokin has stopped 74 of 80 shots during his three-game winning streak. Through 44 games played this season, he has provided a 20-13-11 record with two shutouts, a 3.06 GAA and a .909 save percentage. The Blues rank 26th in the league this campaign with 2.87 goals per contest.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Cruises to win

    Sorokin stopped 22 of 23 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

    Sorokin played with a big lead early and often, as Kyle Palmieri scored a natural hat trick in the first period alone, and the Islanders followed that up with two more goals in the second. The only blemish to Sorokin's night was a Bruins' goal late in the second period. He stopped all three power-play shots he faced and finished with a solid .957 save percentage. Sorokin has won three straight outings to improve to 20-13-11 this season. Look for the Islanders to ride Sorokin as they push for a playoff spot.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Slated to start Saturday

    Sorokin is on track to start at home Saturday versus Boston, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Sorokin has won his last two straight, giving up five goals on 57 shots in road victories over Dallas and Detroit. He is 19-13-11 with a 3.11 GAA and a .909 save percentage. He has a tough matchup against Boston, which is tied with Florida for the top spot in the Eastern Conference with 84 points.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Moving up franchise record list

    Sorokin made 23 saves in a 5-3 win over the Red Wings on Thursday.

    Sorokin earned his 89th career win and passed Jaroslav Halak (88) for sixth most in franchise history. Sorokin is 5-1-2 in his last eight starts and 6-2-2 in 10 starts since Patrick Roy arrived on Long Islan as the team's new head coach. If anyone can help a goalie grow his game, Roy can. Sorokin continues to lead the NHL in shots against (1,443) and saves (1,312), but that might change in a positive way with improved team defense under Roy. And that means Sorokin's GAA and save percentage may improve, too.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Starting in Detroit

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

    Sorokin was sharp in his last start Monday against the Stars, stopping 30 of 32 shots en route to a 3-2 victory. The 28-year-old netminder will face a tough challenge Thursday, as the Red Wings are red hot right now, having won six straight games while scoring a whopping 28 goals over that stretch.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Stops 30 shots in OT win

    Sorokin turned aside 30 of 32 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Stars.

    Sorokin was excellent Monday, holding the Dallas to a pair of second-period goals in a winning effort. The 28-year-old Sorokin had been struggling a bit coming into the outing, going 1-1-1 with an .869 save percentage in his prior three starts. Overall, he's 18-13-11 with a .910 save percentage and 3.11 GAA through 42 appearances this season. The Islanders are back in action Thursday on the road against Detroit.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Jolted by Bolts

    Sorokin stopped 17 of 20 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    The Isles outshot the Bolts 34-21 on the afternoon, but Sorokin's teammates couldn't solve Andrei Vasilevskiy until the third period when they were already in a 3-0 hole. It was Sorokin's first regulation loss since Jan. 23. In six starts since the All-Star break, he's posted a 3-1-2 record with a .903 save percentage.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Tending twine Saturday

    Sorokin will patrol the home crease Saturday against Tampa Bay, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

    Sorokin is coming off a 37-save effort in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over Pittsburgh. In 40 games this season, he has provided a 17-12-11 record with two shutouts, a 3.14 GAA and a .909 save percentage. The Lightning sit seventh in the league this campaign with 3.38 goals per contest.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Hangs on for OT win

    Sorokin stopped 37 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.

    As has been the case too often this season, the Islanders squandered a lead in the third period as the Pens scored twice in under a minute to erase a 4-2 deficit. Sorokin was able to force OT though after facing 16 shots in the final frame alone, and Adam Pelech rewarded the netminder with a win. Sorokin has just one regulation loss in his last eight starts, going 4-1-3, but his 2.97 GAA and .907 save percentage over that stretch are in line with an overall disappointing campaign.

  • Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: In goal Tuesday

    Sorokin will get the starting nod on the road against the Penguins on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Sorokin is undefeated in regulation in his last four contests, despite giving up six goals on 38 shots (.842 save percentage) against the Rangers on Sunday. The Russian netminder will look to bounce back versus a Penguins squad that is scoring just 2.87 goals per game -- though they still boast the services of Sidney Crosby.
