Ilya Sorokin News: Will start Tuesday

Sorokin will get the start for Tuesday's game against the Bruins, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Sorokin is backing up David Rittich against the Blue Jackets on Sunday, but Islanders head coach Patrick Roy volunteered that Sorokin would be the one between the pipes against the Bruins on Tuesday. The 30-year-old has not been his usual self so far this season, posting just a 3-4-1 record, a 3.40 GAA and an .877 save percentage. The Bruins have been off since Saturday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.
