"Then, the best team in the NHL came to town, the Avalanche. Who only had one regulation loss in their first 26 games to start the season. Sorokin, along with a strong offensive night by the rest of the team, led them to a 6-3 win on home ice as well. Sorokin would save 35 shots in this one, good for a .921 save percentage."
"Sorokin and the Isles would then head down to Florida, where they would meet with the Lightning once again. He would make up for that weak goal scored on Tuesday night with a 2-0, 32 save shutout win in this one. As mentioned earlier, the 25th of his career, tying him with Glenn "Chico" Resch for the top spot on the Islanders all-time shutout leaderboard."
Ilya Sorokin recorded three consecutive wins, defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning twice and the Colorado Avalanche. He posted a 2-1 win at home with 30 saves on 31 shots (.968 save percentage) and 3.73 goals saved above expected; the lone goal was a deflected, badly angled shot. He earned a 6-3 victory over the Avalanche with 35 saves (.921 save percentage). He closed the week with a 2-0 shutout in Florida, making 32 saves to record the 25th shutout of his career and tie the Islanders' franchise record. He posted a 4.22 goals saved above expected over the week.
