Sorokin will defend the cage at home versus the Flyers on Friday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Sorokin will make his 10th straight appearance in the crease, having gone 4-5-0 with a 2.91 GAA in his prior nine outings. With Sorokin getting the nod Friday, fantasy managers can anticipate seeing David Rittich between the pipes against the Hurricanes on Saturday, though it's possible Sorokin plays both ends of the back-to-back as the Islanders try to maintain their playoff position.
