Ilya Sorokin News: Earns shutout in New Jersey

Sorokin registered a 25-save shutout in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Devils.

The shutout was Sorokin's fourth of the season, and he has now reached the 30-win mark for the second time in the last three years. This was the Russian netminder's first start since missing two games due to a lower-body injury, and the time off didn't affect the groove he's in this month -- the 29-year-old is 3-1-0 with a .930 save percentage and a 1.93 GAA over five appearances in April. The Islanders are eliminated from postseason contention, and with just two games remaining on their schedule, it's possible Sorokin splits starts with Marcus Hogberg to close out 2024-25.
