EAST MEADOW, N.Y. — There is no denying that New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin has experienced a regression in his numbers this season.
There is no denying that New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin has experienced a regression in his numbers this season., a 2.34 goals-against average, and a league-leading six shutouts, the 26-year-old’s save percentage has dwindled to .908 and his goals-against has swollen to 3.03.
“I’m not 100% pleased and it’s obvious,” Islanders head coach Patrick Roy began when asked about Sorokin’s play by amNewYork. “I’m sure he’s not pleased himself, either.” “It’s different. Before, we were giving up a lot of 40-shot games, now we’re giving less than 30 shots most of the nights,” Roy said. “It’s just an adjustment for him, less shots. But even the chances, we’re cutting down on, so it’s a different game for him. Now every save counts . But am I worried? No.
A notable proponent of Sorokin’s bloated stat line this season is his numbers while shorthanded. Oftentimes left out to dry by what was one of the worst penalty-kill units ever which has made some strides forward in recent games, his goals-against average while the Islanders are a man down is 11.27.
