"Sorokin rebounded after allowing six goals in a loss at Montreal on Saturday, recording the 29th shutout of his career to extend his franchise record. He also tied his single-season high set in 2021-22."
"A disallowed goal, that's a stinger. But we never stopped fighting. Every line was going and contributing in some type of way. Sorokin was phenomenal again."
"The last minute was tough, and the last five minutes were tough. But when the game was finished, it was a big breath after."
Ilya Sorokin achieved his NHL-leading seventh shutout of the season, helping the New York Islanders defeat the Columbus Blue Jackets 1-0. Bo Horvat scored the only goal early in the first period. The victory allowed the Islanders to move into a playoff position, tied with Columbus. Sorokin recorded 26 saves, rebounding from a previous loss. The Blue Jackets' four-game winning streak ended, and a disallowed goal for the Islanders did not deter their effort. The Islanders aim to continue their success against the Chicago Blackhawks next.
