Lou Lamoriello confirmed this much about Ilya Sorokin, the Islanders’ highly anticipated goalie prospect: He is on Long Island and 100% healthy in quarantine after arriving from Russia on Tuesday, and he eventually will join the rest of the team in Toronto without impacting the team’s active roster, as he’s ineligible to play.
But the Islanders’ president and general manager, speaking after Training Camp 2.0 concluded on Saturday at Northwell Health Ice Center in East Meadow, also made it clear that his mind is not on Sorokin.
