Igor Shesterkin and Ilya Sorokin will be on the same Metropolitan Division team this weekend at the All-Star Game.
That also means one of the goalies will be a designated shooter during the Skills Competition on Friday.netminder, said Thursday, smiling. “Him, bad shooter.”
“I think everybody knows [who’s gonna shoot], except him,” Shesterkin said. “Can somebody explain to him?”There was no resolution on the matter Thursday, so the playful trash talk will continue on to Friday. “It’s really good,” Sorokin said. [We] played together in junior team when we were 16. Now we play in NHL. … Now we play in All-Star. So it’s really a cool thing for us.”
Sorokin, whose .923 save percentage ranks second in the league, might soon add a Vezina to match Shesterkin’s. After the Islanders added Bo Horvat in a trade Monday night, he can dream of a playoff run, too. And without a doubt, he is the biggest reason the Islanders have even a fighter’s chance at the postseason.
The two text every week, Sorokin said, and the conversation doesn’t usually center around hockey. At Christmas, Shesterkin had Sorokin and Isles defenseman Alexander Romanov over to celebrate the holiday. And as both goalies have adjusted to life in another country, having a close friend so close by has helped matters.
