"Entering Monday night's action against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the 30-year-old is 28-18-2 this season with a 2.47 goals-against-average and a .914 save percentage. That's good for third league-wide in save percentage, behind only Scott Wedgewood and Devin Cooley, and eighth-best in goals-against-average."
"Sorokin's advanced stats are even more impressive. He leads the league with 32.5 goals-saved-above expected per hockey analytics site MoneyPuck and has been worth 5.42 wins above replacement, best among goalies and well ahead of the second-place Logan Thompson, who is at 4.86."
"While the Islanders have developed a reputation as a boring, defensive team in recent years, that hasn't been the case this season. The addition of Schaefer, along with other creative forwards, has revitalized the team, and they've been playing much more aggressively, at the expense of their defensive structure."
