Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin was seen for the first time on the ice during training camp taking shots Wednesday morning.
Sorokin, who has not participated in training camp due to offseason back surgery, was on another rink at Northwell Health Ice Center, taking shots from goaltending coach Piero Greco.
On Sept. 13, general manager and team president Lou Lamoriello said Sorokin, in the first season of an eight-year, $66 million contract, had suffered an injury over the summer but “there is nothing we are concerned about.” However, three days later, coach Patrick Roy, during the team’s annual golf outing in Old Westbury, announced Sorokin had back surgery.
