Sorokin allowed one goal on 30 shots in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Penguins.
Sorokin would have every right to be angry with his teammates -- in his last four games, they've scored a combined one goal. The team's COVID-19 outbreak has left it undermanned and overpowered in most contests, as Semyon Varlamov has also lost four straight games to begin his campaign. Sorokin slipped to 5-6-2 with a 2.42 GAA and a .928 save percentage. He'll likely be fine in the long run, but a timeshare in net and the lack of scoring support make the 26-year-old a shaky fantasy option in the near term.
