We often talk about the New York Islanders defensive depth within the system. Noah Dobson has already made the jump to the NHL, but they still have Bode Wilde, Sebastian Aho, Samuel Bolduc, Mitchell Vande Sompel and others. But they’ve also got depth between the pipes.
The Islanders have 2014 third-round pick, Ilya Sorokin, still putting up video game numbers over in the KHL with a 0.941SV% and 1.41GAA. Linus Soderstrom – a fourth-round pick in 2014 – a goalie who broke Henrik Lundqvist’s SHL single-season GAA record in 2016-17 with a 1.34GAA.
They also have 2018 third-round pick Jakub Skarek, who just made his North American debut for the New York Islanders ECHL affiliate, the Worcester Railers, on Saturday.
