KHL import goalie Ilya Sorokin started his third game of the season in search of his first win. The Islanders finally scored some goals for him, but fell behind and could not take control of the game. They dropped their second straight game in overtime to the Flyers, finishing up their first extended road trip with two points and zero wins.
Barry Trotz tinkered further with his lineup tonight. Out came Leo Komarov, Oliver Wahlstrom, and Kieffer Bellows. In went Michael Dal Colle, as well as Austin Czarnik and Dmytro Timashov, the latter two making their Islanders debuts.
