Aho Adds Three Assists in Win
Sebastian Aho recorded three assists in Sunday’s 7-2 victory over the Senators. It’s the second straight three-point performance from Aho and his third in five games. The 26-year-old forward has been hot recently, tallying 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in his last 14 contests. Aho’s up to 74 points (27 goals, 47 assists) through 65 games this season, eight shy of his career high set in 2018-19.
Sorokin Loses Third Straight
Ilya Sorokin made 26 saves on 31 shots in Sunday’s 5-2 loss to the Rangers. The 28-year-old stopped all 12 shots he faced in the first period as the Islanders grabbed a 1-0 lead, but Sorokin’s bubble burst 27 seconds into the second on a Mika Zibanejad one-timer, and the Rangers never looked back. Sorokin has lost three straight starts, but Sunday’s outing was his first since Feb. 20 in which he’s allowed more than three goals. Over that nine-start stretch, he’s posted a 2.57 GAA and .903 save percentage.
