The New York Islanders face a crucial decision regarding their goaltending strategy as they enter a vital back-to-back weekend, starting with a game against the Canadiens. While Ilya Sorokin has been a standout performer, his usage may be affected by David Rittich’s recent struggles, reflected in his .861 save percentage over the last 10 games. Given the playoff implications and Sorokin’s strong record against both Montreal and Columbus, the choice of which goalie to start each game is pivotal. Ultimately, how head coach Patrick Roy navigates this situation could significantly impact the Islanders’ playoff hopes.
