There is an instinct to cast Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin as a relatively new commodity to playoff hockey.
The last time the Islanders were in the tournament, two seasons ago, Sorokin played some, including during all four wins against the Penguins, but Semyon Varlamov was still atop the Islanders’ depth chart. and undoubtedly the most pivotal player on the Islanders’ roster.Sorokin, though, threw cold water on the idea the playoffs are something different for him, and“It’s not my first time in NHL [playoffs].
Over 20 playoff games in 2019, Sorokin went 16-4 with 1.19 goals allowed average and five shutouts. He was named the KHL playoff MVP after CSKA swept Avangard in four games in the finals.AP Photo/Frank Franklin II Exactly what the problem has been this season is a slight mystery. Sorokin has placed himself in Vezina Trophy contention and rarely showed signs of struggle.
“Obviously I think that we think the world of our goaltenders,” Cal Clutterbuck said. “I’m not gonna speak comparatively because I see Raanta and Freddy Andersen maybe once or twice a year, so I have no comment on their comparison. [But] I know that we’ve got two of the best.”
