Ilya Sorokin

Sorokin allowed four goals on 28 shots for an .857 save percentage across 60:00, as New York’s offense bailed him out with seven tallies. Though he struggled at times, Sorokin was still good enough to secure the win.

Fantasy Impact

Sorokin remains one of the NHL’s top netminders despite the pedestrian stat line. Even with occasional hiccups, he’s a reliable fantasy starter who frequently posts elite save percentages and racks up wins. Keep him locked in as your go-to goalie in most formats.

Ilya Sorokin allowed four goals on 29 shots in Sunday’s 4-3 loss to the Stars, marking his third consecutive defeat while surrendering at least four goals in each of those outings.

Fantasy Impact

Sorokin hasn’t looked sharp since the two-week 4 Nations Face-Off break, struggling to regain his form. He now holds a 20-17-4 record with a 2.72 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 41 appearances. With Semyon Varlamov (lower body) and Marcus Hogberg (upper body) sidelined, Sorokin is expected to remain the Islanders' workhorse, but fantasy managers should monitor his performance closely heading into Tuesday’s matchup against the Rangers.

Sorokin surrendered five goals on 32 shots for an .875 save percentage, including 21 saves at even strength. He also turned away multiple penalty-kill chances, but Minnesota’s offensive pressure proved too much.

Fantasy Impact

Sorokin remains a top-tier netminder, but even elite goalies can suffer tough outings when team defense lapses. Despite the subpar result, he should still be locked into lineups given his track record and overall skill level. Expect him to rebound as the Isles look to tighten up defensively.

Ilya Sorokin turned in another stellar performance Tuesday, stopping 33 of 34 shots in a 2-1 victory against Vegas. The lone goal he allowed came on a rebound in the third period, but he shut the door late, including a pair of key saves against Jack Eichel with the extra attacker on the ice.

Fantasy Impact

Sorokin has been in elite form, winning six straight starts and eight of his last nine. During that stretch, he has allowed just 14 goals while posting two shutouts. Now 19-14-4 on the season with a 2.63 GAA and .908 save percentage, Sorokin has regained his status as a must-start goaltender, especially with the Islanders making a playoff push. Fantasy managers should continue to ride his hot streak with confidence.

Sorokin stopped 28 of 30 shots in Saturday’s 3-2 overtime win against the Lightning, securing his sixth consecutive victory. The Islanders’ netminder has now won eight of his last nine appearances, allowing just six goals over his current six-game streak while also recording a shutout.

Fantasy Impact

Sorokin is playing some of his best hockey of the season, keeping the Islanders in the playoff race. With his dominant stretch, he has firmly secured the starting job and should continue to see the majority of starts down the stretch. Fantasy managers can confidently deploy him as a high-end option, especially with New York pushing for a Wild Card spot.
