Sorokin stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Senators.
Thanks to this 29-save performance, Sorokin has now recorded back-to-back wins for the first time this season. Even though the 29-year-old Russian netminder has been wildly inconsistent, the recent signs show marked improvement. He's gone 3-1-1 with a 2.34 GAA and a .916 save percentage over his last five starts, and that percentage could be even higher if it hadn't been for a 5-2 loss to Seattle, in which he gave up four goals on just 13 shots on Thursday.
