The New York Islanders will have a new goalie tandem for the 2020-21 season. Prized youngster Ilya Sorokin joins the Isles and there is a path for his rookie success.
The New York Islanders have been waiting and waiting and waiting for Ilya Sorokin. The Russian netminder was the Isles third-round pick back in 2014. The 25-year old goalie is now ready to tackle the NHL.
Even though Sorokin has put up ridiculous video game numbers in the KHL these last few years, the Isles just need him to be a strong 1A goalie for the upcoming season.
