There was a moment in the third period Thursday at UBS Arena where it looked like it was going to be one of those Ilya Sorokin Show kind of nights. The New York Islanders goalie had just made another acrobatic save — on another poorly run Islanders power play — and the crowd was chanting his name while the Isles continued into the Minnesota Wild zone — where you’re supposed to be with a man advantage — carrying a 1-0 lead with nine minutes to go.
Instead, at the next stoppage, a video review showed that Sorokin’s glove stop of Frederick Gaudreau’s shot carried over the line (and the razor-close Wild zone entry that preceded it was clearly onside), so the game was tied, 1-1.
