Sorokin is likely to start against the Red Wings on Saturday.

Sorokin stopped 30 of the 31 shots he faced in Tuesday's shootout loss to the Wild. Goal support continues to be an issue for Sorokin. He's registered just 20 wins in 44 starts this season despite owning a .925 SV% and a 2.37 GAA. He'll have a great opportunity to get back into the win column Saturday against the Red Wings.
