Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Gets starting nod Tuesday
Sorokin will be between the home pipes versus Toronto on Tuesday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
Sorokin has secured victories in five of his last six appearances while sporting a 2.35 GAA and a .919 save percentage. With 25 wins and five shutouts in 2022-23, the 27-year-old netminder could surpass personal bests in both categories if he continues to perform to this level over the final weeks of the regular season. The Islanders are set to play in back-to-back games against Columbus and Buffalo on Friday and Saturday, respectively, and Sorokin figures to split the pair of contests with Semyon Varlamov.

Islanders' Pierre Engvall: Success continues with helper
Engvall logged a power-play assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Engvall helped out on Ryan Pulock's second-period tally. The assist gave Engvall a four-game point streak (three goals, two helpers). The 26-year-old winger has found a place on the second line alongside Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri. Engvall has 26 points, 111 shots, 41 hits and a plus-3 rating through 65 outings this season, but his recent play could make him a viable depth forward in fantasy.

The winger is up to 26 points, 93 shots, 65 hits and a plus-10 rating through 44 outings this season.

Pageau scored a shorthanded goal on three shots, added an assist, logged three hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Pageau's tally tied the game at 1-1 in the first period, and he also helped out on a Zach Parise goal in the third. Pageau has two goals and two assists over three games since he returned from an upper-body injury, as he's taken advantage of some favorable matchups during the Islanders' California trip.

Islanders' Otto Koivula: Still not playing
Koivula (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Sharks, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
