Sorokin will start on Thursday after being the first goalie off the ice and will look to rebound after consecutive losses (0-1-1), both sub-.900 SV% performances. Despite making several heroic saves early in the contest, Sorokin allowed five goals on 37 shots in the Islanders' 7-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. The Islanders are -118 road favorites as they welcome an Ottawa Senators team that has lost two straight, being outscored 11-6 in those games.

Vanecek has struggled in his two appearances so far this season, but he draws an excellent matchup tonight against the Canadiens with New Jersey being massive road favourites at -235. The 27-year-old netminder has stopped just 58 of the 65 shots he's faced this season and has a 3.62 GAA along with a 1-1-0 record to show for it. Vanecek will always be a threat to pick up a Win for your fantasy team so long as he's suiting up for the Devils, but he'll need to string together some strong performances if he wants to stop conceding starts to his understudy, Akira Schmid.

Sorokin will return to the crease for the Islanders after getting his first night off on Saturday. Sorokin is a safe bet between the pipes on most nights but will be put to the ultimate test on Tuesday as the Islanders face off against the undefeated Colorado Avalanche (5-0-0). In three games this season (2-0-1), Sorokin has a 2.31 GAA and .914 SV% but is coming off his weakest performance thus far, allowing five goals on 39 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils.
