The Islanders snapped a three-game losing skid in their most recent game, a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning courtesy of a tremendous 30-save performance (.968 SV%) by Sorokin. The 30-year-old Sorokin, boasting a 2.57 GAA and .905 SV% in 18 games this season (8-8-2), likely returns to the crease on Thursday in a challenging matchup against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche, who have amazingly only lost one game in regulation this season (19-1-6). The Islanders enter Thursday's contest as sizable +180 home underdogs against the Avalanche.

The Islanders have lost three straight (0-2-1) and will turn to Sorokin to tend the twine on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 30-year-old Sorokin was having a terrific November before ending it on a sour note, allowing five goals on 31 combined shots (.839 SV%) in his last two games (0-2-0). He has a 2.67 GAA and .901 SV% in 17 games this season (7-8-2). The Islanders enter Tuesday's contest as +122 home underdogs against a Lightning team riding a seven-game winning streak.

The Islanders will try to snap a two-game losing skid on Sunday, turning to Sorokin to tend the twine against the Washington Capitals. The 30-year-old hopes to rebound after struggling in his most recent outing, allowing three goals on 14 shots (.786 SV%) in a 3-1 loss to the Boston Bruins. That said, Sorokin has been stellar during November, posting a 2.01 GAA and .926 SV% in eight games (4-3-1).

The Islanders have been playing well lately, with a 7-3-0 record in their last 10 games, and they will turn to Sorokin to tend the twine on Wednesday against the Boston Bruins. After a poor start to the season, Sorokin has shown glimpses of his elite form in recent weeks, posting a 1.80 GAA and .938 SV% in eight games (5-2-1). He has a 2.67 GAA and .905 SV% in 15 games this season (7-6-2). The Islanders enter Wednesday's contest as -158 home favorites against a Bruins team that defeated them 4-3 in a shootout earlier this month.

David Rittich was excellent in New York's 3-2 win over the Dallas Stars on Tuesday, but Head Coach Patrick Roy already announced earlier in the week that Sorokin would start on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. The Islanders have been impressive lately, winning five of their last six (5-1-0), and have received better goaltending from Ilya Sorokin after a poor start to the season. The 30-year-old Sorokin has a 2.15 GAA and .927 SV% in five November games (3-1-1) and posted an ugly 3.40 GAA and .877 SV% in October (3-4-1).

The Islanders have won two straight and will turn to Sorokin on Thursday in the front end of a back-to-back when they visit the Vegas Golden Knights. After an awful start to the season, posting an ugly 3.70 GAA and .868 SV% in seven games (2-4-1), the 30-year-old Sorkin has rebounded nicely in recent games. He has a superb 1.50 GAA and .949 SV% in his last four games (3-0-1), reminding Islanders' fans of the elite ability that put him in the Vezina conversation in recent seasons.

Sorokin has struggled this season but is coming off his best performance, making 33 saves for his first shutout of the season in a 5-0 win over the New York Rangers. The 30-year-old goalie hopes to build off his recent outing when he returns to the crease on Monday against the New Jersey Devils. He has a 3.00 GAA and .893 SV% in 10 games this season (4-4-2). The Islanders enter Monday's contest as +132 road underdogs against a Devils team that is undefeated at home this season, with a perfect 7-0-0 record.

The Islanders received solid goaltending from David Rittich in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, but they will revert back to Sorokin between the pipes on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. The 30-year-old Sorokin has had a forgetful 2025-26 season, posting a 3.40 GAA and .877 SV% in eight games (3-4-1). That said, he played well in his most recent outing, saving 22 of 23 shots (.957 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the Washington Capitals.

The Islanders' defensive woes continued with David Rittich tending the twine in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Islanders. The team will flip the script on the tail end of their back-to-back, turning to Sorokin between the pipes on Friday against the Washington Capitals. That said, the Islanders haven't fared much better with Sorokin. The 30-year-old Sorokin is off to a forgetful start, posting an ugly 3.75 GAA and .868 SV% in seven games (2-4-1). The Islanders enter Thursday's contest as +187 road underdogs against a 6-4-0 Capitals team.

After losing their first three games to start the season (0-3-0), the Islanders have points in five straight (4-0-1). Despite their recent surge in play, the Islanders are still hoping for another level out of Sorokin between the pipes. The 30-year-old netminder is off to a lackluster start to the season, posting an unspectacular 3.70 GAA and .875 SV% in six outings (2-3-1). He returns to the crease on Tuesday against a Boston Bruins team on the tail end of a back-to-back.

The Islanders are off to a 2-3-0 start to the 2025-26 season and have relied heavily on Ilya Sorokin, but he has not been able to consistently deliver when called upon. The 30-year-old Sorokin has an alarming 4.13 GAA and .861 SV% in four games this season (1-3-0). Sorokin and the Islanders hope to rebound on Tuesday when they face-off against the San Jose Sharks, the only team in the NHL yet to record a victory (0-3-2).

Sorokin gave up four goals on 25 shots in the Islanders loss to the Jets on Monday. He was giving Thursday night off and David Rittich turned in an excellent performance, but they will go back to Sorokin this afternoon in Ottawa. Sorokin has allowed four goals in all three of his starts this season, going 0-3-0 with a 4.18 GAA and .854 SV%.

Searching for their first victory of the 2025-26 season (0-2-0), the Islanders will roll with Sorokin for a third straight game. The 30-year-old Sorokin is coming off a disappointing season in which he posted a 2.71 GAA and .907 SV% in 60 games (30-24-6). Through two games this season (0-2-0), the veteran goalie has a 4.21 GAA and .860 SV%; not promising numbers for a goalie hoping to return to the 2.34 GAA and .924 SV% he posted in 2022-23, when he finished as the runner-up for the Vezina Trophy. The Islanders enter Monday's contest as +111 home underdogs against the Winnipeg Jets.
