“#Islanders’ Ilya Sorokin ‘hung out to dry’ in NHL debut<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Islanders\u2019 White Whale splashed into the NHL Saturday night.<\/p>\n

After Semyon Varlamov took a puck to throat during warmups, Ilya Sorokin made his NHL debut in the Islanders\u2019 5-0 loss at Madison Square Garden 2,934 days after the organization drafted him 78th overall in 2014.<\/p>\n

Head coach Barry Trotz didn\u2019t have an immedia<\/a>te update on Varlamov, who posted a shutout against the Rangers in Thursday\u2019s season-opener. Cory Schneider served as the backup just a day after officially signing his one-year deal with the Islanders.<\/p>\n

While the Islanders have been patiently waiting for the 25-year-old Sorokin to be NHL ready, Trotz made it clear that Sorokin\u2019s debut wasn\u2019t under the circumstances they had hoped for.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hung him out to dry,\u201d Trotz said on a Zoom call after the loss.<\/p>\n

Trotz also noted that it was \u201cnot acceptable\u201d that Varlamov was hurt during warmups, adding that it was unfair to Sorokin.<\/p>\n

In the first period, the 25-year-old Sorokin allowed two goals to fellow countryman Pavel Buchnevich and Artemi Panarin on the first 10 shots he faced. He finished the night with 27 saves on 32 shots.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know [him] quite a bit,\u201d Alexandar Georgiev said of Sorokin this past week. \u201cWe work together at the National Team A couple of years ago. Awesome goal a great guy. I have good things about him to say, obviously. I think he\u2019s a great goalie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony DeAngelo was a healthy scratch for the Rangers in Saturday\u2019s rematch against the Islanders.<\/p>\n

The Rangers defenseman skated with the taxi squad Friday after getting called for an unsportsmanlike conduct a minute and five seconds into the third period of Thursday\u2019s 4-0 loss to the Isles. DeAngelo, who has been a healthy scratch before under David Quinn for what the Rangers head coach described as \u201cmaturity issues,\u201d slammed the penalty box door and opened his mouth to the refs after committing a holding penalty.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen, there\u2019s just a lot of things that go on that we\u2019re going to keep in-house, and this is one of them,\u201d Quinn said prior to Saturday\u2019s contest at Madison Square Garden. \u201cTony and I have talked about it. There\u2019s clarity on what happ<\/a>ened here. It was the right thing to do and he\u2019ll be back in the lineup soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if he would scratch any other player in the lineup if they conducted himself the way DeAngelo did Thursday, Quinn said he would and that it didn\u2019t have anything to do with the fact that it was a repeat offender in DeAngelo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would\u2019ve happened with any player, it has nothing to do with Tony,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
