BUFFALO, N.Y. Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin’s eyes lit up and he broke into a big smile in not needing an interpretation when asked his favourite memory of his first NHL win and a shutout, no less.
“Video review,” the Russian-born goalie said. “Cancelled it.”
There was more to Sorokin’s 20-save performance in the Islanders’ 3-0 victory over the Buffalo Sabres than an overturned goal on Tuesday night. But the 25-year-old rookie understood how big of a save he got from coach Barry Trotz in having Victor Olofsson’s power-play goal negated with 6:59 remaining.
