Ilya Sorokin Returns To The Crease

Ilya Sorokin had a bad 2023-24 season.

Say what you want about the defense in front of him, but the talented tendy wasn’t at his best, struggling in all facets of the game, leading to his worst statistical season (3.01 GAA, .908 SV%).

He only played in one game during their first-round series against the Carolina Hurricanes, getting pulled after allowing three goals on 14 shots in Game 4.

That was the last game he played in.

Sorokin just didn’t seem right at all, all season.

Even though he told us he was completely healthy during his end-of-the-year interview, his off-season back surgery made it clear he wasn’t.

No one wants to make excuses for his poor play, but the injury certainly bails him out of the struggles…for now.
