Sorokin will not be available for Tuesday's game in Columbus, so Cory Schneider was recalled from the AHL to serve as Semyon Varlamov's backup. Sorokin is feeling better and will be re-evaluated ahead of Thursday's game.
Sorokin suffered an upper-body injury in Sunday's loss and the Islanders recalled Cory Schneider on Monday, suggesting that Sorokin won't play in Columbus. Expect the Islanders to provide an update on Sorokin's status at some point on Tuesday.
Schneider's recall suggests that Ilya Sorokin (upper-body) will not be available for Tuesday's game. Schneider, who has gone 10-10-3 with a 2.68 GAA and .921 SV% in 24 AHL games this season, will serve as Semyon Varlamov's backup.
The Bruins' blueline will likely be fluid moving forward but Reilly will be the first one to sit out with Hampus Lindholm making his Bruins debut on Thursday.
Mayfield could miss the rest of the regular season with a lower-body injury that he likely suffered vs. the Senators on Tuesday. Sebastian Aho figures to replace Mayfield in the lineup on Thursday and moving forward.
