Ilya Sorokin’s Hot Offseason Plan: Back Strong and Ready to Dominate NHL 2025-26!

Ilya Sorokin’s Hot Offseason Plan: Back Strong and Ready to Dominate NHL 2025-26!

August 12, 2025

Ilya Sorokin, the star goalie for the New York Islanders, is making a powerful comeback! This summer, for the first time in two years, he is fully healthy and hitting the ice hard to train for the 2025–26 NHL season. Last year’s offseason was tough for Sorokin as he recovered from back surgery. Because of that, he missed out on the usual training time and arrived at the 2024 season less sharp than fans expected. Sorokin’s 2024-25 season stats showed he had some struggles. He finished with a 30–24–6 record, a 2.71 goals-against average (which was the second highest in his career), and a .907 save percentage, his lowest since he started in the NHL. While still good by NHL standards, these numbers were a bit of a step down from the incredible, Vezina Trophy-level goalie that fans had seen before. But now, the story is changing fast! This offseason, Sorokin is seen training aggressively, improving his agility, positioning, and reactions. A video shared by Isles Den on social media shows him gliding smoothly and confidently in the net — a stunning sight for Islanders fans who have watched his difficult rehab journey. With Sorokin fully fit and training at full speed, hopes are sky-high. Islanders fans and experts believe that his return to top form will be key to the team’s success in the 2025-26 season. Along with fellow goalie Semyon Varlamov also aiming to be in top shape, the Islanders could have a much stronger defense and better chances in the playoffs. So, will the comeback king, Ilya Sorokin, turn the ice into his kingdom once again? This summer grind could be the magic that restores him to his throne as one of the NHL’s most fearsome netminders!
