Ilya Sorokin will be in nets not once but twice for the Islanders on a Friday-Saturday back-to-back in Winnipeg and Minnesota, with a two-week break looming once the team gets back home.

Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin had a career first on Monday. He was named the NHL’s first star of the week after going 3-0-0 with a 1.33 goals-against average and a .953 save percentage in wins over the Avalanche, Flyers and Lightning. He had been named the second- and third-star of the week previously in his career but never No. 1.
