Ilya Sorokin Maintains Perfect Penalty Shot Record in Islanders' Comeback Win

New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin played a crucial role in his team's comeback victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, October 18, 2025. Despite allowing four goals on 33 shots, Sorokin made several timely saves late in the game, most notably stopping Shane Pinto on a penalty shot. This save extended Sorokin's perfect career record on penalty shots to four-for-four, with previous stops against Michael Bunting, Sidney Crosby, and Jason Zucker. Two of these four penalty shot saves have directly led to Islanders wins. While Sorokin has faced some struggles early in the campaign, his ability to make critical saves when needed proved instrumental in giving his team a chance to rally for the win. The Islanders will next face the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.
