‘Outstanding’ Ilya Sorokin paved way for Islanders win
NY Post
Rookie netminder Ilya Sorokin stole Game 5 for the Islanders, coming up with a franchise rookie playoff record 48 saves on 50 shots as the Isles pulled out a 3-2 win over the Penguins in double overtime Monday night.
With the victory, his third of the series, Sorokin became the first rookie goalie in franchise history to win each of the first three playoff games of his career. “Outstanding,” head coach Barry Trotz said. “I can use all the ones that you want to write, they all will apply. He was outstanding. He gave us a chance. The first two periods were not pretty and he allowed us to hang around.”
