Ilya Sorokin News: Surrenders three in loss

Sorokin stopped 11 of 14 shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Boston.

Sorokin didn't face many shots and struggled in the defeat. He allowed a shorthanded goal to Alex Steeves midway through the third period, which put the game out of reach for the Islanders. With the loss, Sorokin has a 7-7-2 record with a 2.70 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. Despite picking up his second consecutive loss, the 30-year-old twine protector has played at a higher level in November and hasn't allowed more than three goals in a game since Oct. 28. If he can find the win column soon and prove that the past two contests are nothing more than a quick slump, Sorokin's fantasy value should remain high.
