Since taking over the role as the NY Islanders' number one goaltender, this team has gone the way of Ilya Sorokin. When Sorokin is on his game, the Isles rack up wins. When he’s struggling, the wins don’t come as often.
To start this season, Sorokin struggled out of the gate, as the Isles lost their first three games, beginning behind the 8-ball a week into the season.

On October 22nd, the Islanders decided to move on from goaltending coach Piero Greco, promoting Bridgeport Islanders Goalie Coach Sergei Naumov to the same position with the big club.
