Islanders’ Goalie Ilya Sorokin Exits Game Against Predators with Potential Injury
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The New York Islanders are facing further goaltending concerns as netminder Ilya Sorokin left Tuesday night’s contest against the Nashville Predators. This развиваются after the team already lost another goalie to injury earlier in the season.
Sorokin was unexpectedly replaced by Marcus Hogberg at the start of the third period after playing the initial 40 minutes. He was absent from the bench for the remainder of the game, raising immediate questions about his condition.
Possible Injury Incident
Speculation suggests the incident may have occurred during Michael McCarron’s goal at 13:25 of the second period. McCarron appeared to land on Sorokin’s shoulder after scoring, potentially causing discomfort to the Islanders’ starting goaltender. Sorokin notably underwent back surgery in the previous summer.
Islanders’ Goaltending Depth Tested
Sorokin had been the sole Islanders goalie to maintain health throughout the entire season until this point. Hogberg has been recovering from a broken hand, and Semyon Varlamov has been sidelined with an undisclosed lower-body injury since the day after Black Friday.
