The New York Islanders are facing a crucial weekend back-to-back against the Canadiens and the Columbus game, where they are two four-point games in a playoff race. The team's decision to split the games may depend on player Ilya Sorokin, who has started 43 of 69 games this season and six shutouts lead the league. However, David Rittich has been struggling with a poor performance since his last outing, with a.861 save percentage over his past 10 starts. Despite this, Sorokin has never lost in regulation to either Montreal or Columbus.
