What an offseason it’s been for the New York Islanders prospects. First we heard of Linus Soderstrom’s contract with the team, then Mathew Barzal wins a championship and MVP in the WHL and now Ilya Sorokin has a shutout at the IIHF Worlds.
Sorokin stopped all 24 shots as Team Russia sailed to an easy 5-0 win over Latvia. If you missed it you can check out the highlights here:

I’m giddy thinking of a potential Sorokin/Soderstrom tandem.
