New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin (lower body) will be unavailable for Thursday's Battle of New York against the Rangers. The Islanders lost Sorokin to a lower-body injury on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators, and the team may have to finish the regular season without him. Sorokin has been extremely busy all year, posting a 29-23-6 record with 62 starts. He has allowed 2.77 goals while logging a .905 save percentage and three shutouts. Marcus Hogberg, who is 2-4-2 for the campaign, will hold down the fort in Sorokin's absence, with Tristan Lennox filling backup duties.

New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin (upper body) exited Tuesday's contest early against the Nashville Predators. Sorokin was not on the ice at the start of the third period. While he allowed four goals during the first two periods, Andrew Gross of Newsday reported that his absence was injury-related. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next game on Thursday evening against the New York Islanders. Before Tuesday's game, Sorokin was riding a two-game winning streak. During this streak, he stopped 55 of the 57 shots he saw. However, prior to that recent surge, he carried a 0-3 record with a high 4.16 GAA. With the Islanders falling behind in the playoff picture, the team may provide Sorokin with extra opportunities to rest.

New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin stopped 38 of the 39 shots he faced en route to defeating the Boston Bruins on Thursday evening. The Islanders were heavily outshot in this contest but Sorokin was able to lead the way. His lone mistake came in the final frame when David Pastrnak found the back of the net on a wrist shot. However, Sorokin was able to shut the door for the remainder of the period to lead the Islanders to the victory. This was a much-needed bounce-back outing for Sorokin as he carried a four-game losing streak into Thursday's contest. During this streak, the 29-year-old held a .818 save percentage with a 5.02 GAA. However, before his slump, he carried an impressive seven-game winning streak where he posted a 1.16 GAA. He will look to start another streak on Saturday afternoon against the Nashville Predators.

Sorokin's current 7-0-0 run marks his longest winning streak since a career-best stretch of nine consecutive victories in 2020-21. The recent hot form has helped Sorokin improve his record to 20-14-4. He has registered three shutouts while allowing 2.59 goals with a .910 save percentage. Sorokin's work has been fantastic lately, but he has an extremely difficult matchup on Friday. The Jets have racked up seven straight wins and share the league's best record with 79 points.
