Islanders’ Ilya Sorokin: Gets starting nod Tuesday

Sorokin will be between the home pipes versus Toronto on Tuesday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

Sorokin has secured victories in five of his last six appearances while sporting a 2.35 GAA and a .919 save percentage. With 25 wins and five shutouts in 2022-23, the 27-year-old netminder could surpass personal bests in both categories if he continues to perform to this level over the final weeks of the regular season. The Islanders are set to play in back-to-back games against Columbus and Buffalo on Friday and Saturday, respectively, and Sorokin figures to split the pair of contests with Semyon Varlamov.
