Sorokin will likely return to the crease on Monday for the Islanders when they visit the Edmonton Oilers. Sorokin is sporting an adequate 3-2-3 record this season, but his play has been a far cry from the Vezina-caliber totals the hockey world has become accustomed to over the last few seasons, posting a 3.24 GAA and .907 SV%. Over the last eight games, the Islanders have opted to rotate starts between Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov. Albeit +150 road underdogs, the Islanders will try to get back on track against an Oilers team that has lost eight of their last 10 (2-7-1).

Reilly played his first two games of the season with Uvis Balinskis being a healthy scratch, recording seven shots on goal and a -2 plus/minus rating in the two contests. Reilly will return to the pressbox with Balinskis drawing back into the Panthers' lineup.

Sorokin will return between the pipes for the Islanders on Thursday after the team favoured Semyon Varlamov in two of their last three contests.

Varlamov is coming off his league-leading second shutout of the season and will be the starting goalie for the Islanders on Tuesday when they host the Minnesota Wild.
