The dynamic between Semyon Varlamov, Ilya Sorokin after crucial Islanders switch
NY Post
After the final horn sounded on the Islanders’ series-tying Game 4 win last weekend, veteran goaltender Semyon Varlamov waited at the end of the celebration line as his teammates took turns congratulating rookie netminder Ilya Sorokin for backstopping, at the time, his second win of the series with 29 saves.
Varlamov, who was relegated to the bench after rocky performances in the Isles’ two losses in Games 2 and 3, threw his arms around his fellow Russian once it was his turn. The two shared a lengthy embrace. The Islanders highlight their close-knit locker room all the time, and it doesn’t stop at their goalie tandem. Though, the current dynamic between Sorokin and Varlamov is unique.
