Sorokin took a rare rest and backed up Semyon Varlamov for the Islanders' previous game but will head back between the pipes Saturday vs. Carolina. The 28-year-old superstars has been steady as always this season, with his 3-1-2 record, .910 SV% and 2.99 GAA. He draws a home start vs Carolina Saturday, who snapped a three-game winning streak last game but love to work pucks on net as they are second in the NHL in shots per game (34.4).

Sorokin will return to the Islanders' crease after watching Semyon Varlamov record a 34-save shutout in a 2-0 victory for his New York Islanders on Saturday. It was the second time in seven games that Sorokin was given the night off early this season. Sorokin's early season 2.80 GAA and .915 SV% are slightly below his career average of 2.35 GAA and .923 SV%. Even as -149 home favourites on Monday, Sorokin and the Islanders will have their work cut out for them against the high-scoring Detroit Red Wings, who rank third in the league offensively (4.00 GF/GP).

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.

Last year's Vezina runner-up will look to continue his strong start in game two of the season for the Islanders. In his first contest, Sorokin was his usual self, stopping 26 of 28 shots and leading the Islanders to a 3-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. The Islanders' familiar defensive structure should be on display once again this season, paving the way for the talented Sorokin to have another Vezina-worthy campaign. The Islanders are listed as -194 home favourites as they face off against an Arizona Coyotes team that is coming off a 2-1 loss to the New York Rangers last night.

The 27-year-old has been solid despite his lack of offensive support throughout the series, with his 1-3-0 record, 2.96 GAA and .917 SV%. He will be hoping to keep the Islanders alive for at least one more game as he takes on Carolina, who was third in the NHL in shots per game (34.8).

Sorokin allowed four goals on 36 shots (.900 SV%) as he took the overtime loss in Game 2 to go down 0-2 in the series but will start Game 3 Friday. The 27-year-old will be hoping for some more offensive support, as he has been sensational with his 0-2-0 record, 2.92 GAA and .932 SV% in these playoffs. He will hope for some different results as the Carolina Hurricanes head to town, who were third in the NHL in shots per game (34.8) during the regular season.

Sorokin took the hard-luck loss in Game 1 after stopping 35 of 37 shots (.946 SV%) in a tight 2-1 loss to Carolina but will get a shot at redemption for Game 2 on Wednesday. The 27-year-old will look to build off his 4-2-0 career playoff record, where he has a .925 SV% and 2.69 GAA. He will take on the Carolina Hurricanes, who held true to their form in Game 1 after finishing the regular season third in the NHL in shots per game (34.8).
