    • Pulled in the second
      Sorokin allowed three goals on 14 shots before he was replaced by Semyon Varlamov in the second period of Thursday's 3-2 Game 3 loss to Carolina. Sorokin was credited with the loss.

      Advice: Looking to climb out of a 2-0 hole in the series, the Islanders elected to switch things up and turn to Sorokin in net for Game 3. The 28-year-old netminder allowed two goals on the first six shots he faced in the first period and a third tally to Sebastian Aho 7:14 into the second before he was pulled in favor of Varlamov. Sorokin seemed to be the Islanders' unquestioned starter after signing an eight-year extension prior to the season. However, he was outplayed down the stretch by Varlamov, who took over the top goaltending job heading into the playoffs. Sorokin went 25-19-12 during the regular season with a career-low .908 save percentage and 3.01 GAA. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:24 pm
       
    • Expected starter for Thursday
      Sorokin is set to start at home against Carolina on Thursday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

      Advice: Sorokin had a 25-19-12 record, 3.01 GAA and .908 save percentage in 56 appearances during the regular season. Semyon Varlamov was in net for the first two contests of the Islanders' first-round series and initially appeared to be the projected starter for Game 3 after being the first goaltender off the ice following Wednesday's morning skate, but coach Patrick Roy has indicated New York will make a change in goal. Carolina has a 2-0 series lead and has outscored the Islanders 8-4. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:59 am
       
    • Falls to Toronto
      Ullmark allowed three goals on 33 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 2.

      Advice: Ullmark was solid Monday, but an Auston Matthews goal on a breakaway in the third period would ultimately stick the 30-year-old netminder with a one-goal loss. Ullmark went 22-10-7 with a .915 save percentage and 2.58 GAA in the regular season. It appears that Boston will continue to alternate him and Jeremy Swayman in the playoffs, lining up Ullmark for a road start in Game 4 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:49 pm
       
    • Tending twine Monday
      Ullmark will start Game 2 at home against Toronto on Monday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Boston will continue to alternate between Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman as they did for most of the regular season. Ullmark is 6-4-1 with a .923 save percentage since the start of March, though he ended the regular season with a loss against Ottawa. For the season, he went 22-10-7 with a 2.58 GAA in 40 appearances. Rotowire.com Monday, 3:42 pm
