Sorokin stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals.

Sorokin struggled early, allowing the first four goals of the game across 36 minutes. However, he kept the Capitals off the scoresheet in the third period. The 30-year-old netminder has a 0-2-0 record, 4.21 GAA and .860 save percentage through two appearances. It's an unfortunate start to the season for Sorokin, who was one of 10 goalies to reach the 30-win mark last season. Despite the early struggles, Sorokin's is in no danger of ceding his starting role to David Rittich. If the Islanders can strengthen their defensive play in front of Sorokin, he could continue to build upon his solid campaign from last season, giving him upside in all fantasy formats.
