Sorokin's First Win Is A Franchise Level Goalie Shutout.

“When you play, play, play, you’ll feel better every day. I feel better than I did a month ago.”

Compact moves, swooping glove, he really played like an elite franchise-level goalie, despite only 20 shots against. Sure Varlamov's been outstanding (since summer) but Sorokin's ceiling needs to be a 60 game franchlie #1 goalie. Mindful of my earlier post to back up the truck, not going to take the out, they got a break to practice before Buffalo got sick. Yes 3/4 nights, but Buffalo for it's twenty shots owned the puck tonight.
