According to MoneyPuck, Sorokin is the 2nd best goalie in the league right now, including in GSAx and WAR, behind only Logan Thompson of the Capitals.
Super well deserved. Really playing much better after the goalie change following his poor start
He had a slow start but seems to be shaping back nicely into form
Guess the tie breaker between him and Oettinger was shots faced. 100+ for Sorokin vs 76 for Oettinger
This is a well deserved acknowledgment of the man’s talents and accomplishments.
He’s been putting in the hard work with his new trainer and it shows, of course having a hall of fame goaltender as your teams head coach must be helpful too.
Man’s playing like he turned the sliders up.
Nice to see him bouncing back from a rough patch the last year or so.
Unrelated…Rittich has been MUCH better than i envisioned he would be.
