Sorokin has been sidelined since April 8 due to a lower-body injury but looked quite sharp in his return. Before his injury, Sorokin carried a 2-3 record with a 3.20 GAA and a .883 save percentage. The Islanders have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and the team may opt to rest Sorokin for their final two games.

The star goalie is recovering from back surgery and didn't see action in any of the team's six preseason games. However, it remains to be seen if he will be named a starter for the team's first game of the campaign on Thursday versus the Utah Hockey Club. Sorokin had a down year in 2023-24, and the back injury is an early setback for him regarding the new campaign. It might take a while before he's back in top form, and this could give Semyon Varlamov extra action early in the season.

New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin struggled in his 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs debut on Thursday against Carolina in a 3-2 loss. He coughed up three goals on 14 shots before being replaced by Semyon Varlamov. Looking to shift momentum in the series with his team 2-0 down, Islanders head coach Patrick Roy made a change between the sticks, but it backfired badly. Sorokin managed only two saves before allowing the first goal, and his night finished after he had logged only 27:14 of action. Varlamov stopped all eight shots he faced. The team will likely return to Varlamov for Game 4.
