The New York Islanders Banking on Ilya Sorokin Returning to Vezina Form

The New York Islanders hope that Ilya Sorokin will return to his Vezina-caliber form next season. The club is looking to bounce back under a full year of Patrick Roy's tutelage, leading to a more defensively responsible club that won't rely as much on Sorokin to bail them out.

The New York Islanders have one of the NHL’s best netminders in Ilya Sorokin on the team. Sorokin emerged from a third-round pick in 2014, to one of the most reliable starters in recent years.

Since firmly entrenching himself as the full-time starter during the 2021-22 season, the Isles have relied on Sorokin to be a difference-maker. His exceptional play helped the Isles reach back-to-back Conference Final appearances.

However, a down year last season has raised questions about Sorokin’s effectiveness. So, that’s why it’s worth taking a look at the plus/minus sides of the New York Islanders starting goaltender.
