Sorokin gets shutout as Islanders blank Golden Knights
This was the Islanders' second shutout this season. The other occurred Nov. 30, same day as the Golden Knights were last blanked. This also was Sorokin's second shutout this season and 20th of his career. Lee became the 10th player in franchise history to reach 800 games and the first to score a goal while hitting that milestone.
The Vegas Golden Knights injected some skill into their pool by selecting Trevor Connelly in the first round in 2024, but that boost was also offset by trading David Edstrom and aging out a couple of others. The end result is a pool that ranks in about the same spot it has (22nd or 23rd) for the last four years.
