Ilya Sorokin Again Starts With Semyon Varlamov Still Unavailable
3 years agoNew York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin will continue in the crease on Saturday against Arizona, with Semyon Varlamov (undisclosed) still not ready to make his season debut. The veteran netminder has been ruled out for at least two more games, meaning that Sorokin might also start on Sunday versus Vegas. He's currently backed up by Cory Schneider. Sorokin hasn't done too much wrong this season, but the team is off to a slow start, leaving the Russian with a 1-2-1 record. He's registered a 3.50 goals-against average with a .901 save percentage. Following Sunday's outings, the Islanders will be off until next Saturday, giving Varlamov some nice recovery time.
