Ilya Sorokin Wins Eighth Consecutive Start
4 years agoNew York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin earned his eighth straight victory on Monday night, backstopping his team to a 2-1 overtime win over the Philadelphia Flyers. The 25-year-old, who hasn't lost a game since January, improved to a perfect 6-0 in the month of March while stopping 36 of 37 shots against in the game. Sorokin is giving the Islanders coaching staff no choice but to trust him with a heavier workload as the season progresses as the rookie netminder has now posted a 8-2-1 record with a 1.97 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage in 11 starts this season. Just 49% owned in Yahoo! leagues, Sorokin should be considered a priority add for any fantasy owner in need of a goaltender.
