Tampa -Ilya Solokin, Florida, usually did not give a detailed failure of his own play, and was no exception on Thursday night.
“I feel at one level,” said Solokin and asked if something had shifted for him recently. “I can't change anything in my heart. Of course, when you win, it's positive, but our coach is until 12:00 am. Tomorrow [is a] The new day and the next day are ready. ”
That mentality is part of his career that has reached here.
But what he feels, his level has definitely risen last month.
In fact, the Solokin's .938 save rate in January has the best mark in one month since March 2022.
His number has also improved dramatically since December. He has been dramatically improved when the calendar has been overturned to 3.45 goals on average for 14 starts in nine games and permites a 0.873 save rate at 14 starts.
I don't feel like a past run when Solokin was the only one during the disaster every night.
The defense in front of him is powerful, especially dramatically improved.
However, the goalkeeper is a very large part of the puzzle because the islanders are in charge of the ranking, and has the opportunity to make up for two important points in the lightning that leads the wildcard on Saturday night.
“He was really solid,” Patrick Roy said, after 3-0 victory against the flyers on Thursday night, he marked his third Shut-out this season. “The last two games I think he gave us a chance to Colorado. And again [Thursday] When they entered, I gave them three very good opportunities during the first period, and he made some [saves]。
“What I like about him now looks easy, and when the goalkeeper is at the top of his game, I think it's the situation.”
Solokin's workload is set to increase after Marcus Hogberg injury. This is a potential dangerous flag because the workload was a major factor in his struggle between December and last season.
Roy said on Thursday that at one point was to play Jakub Skarek, the fourth string on the tissue, and the current backup, Jakub Skarek.
Solokin is a continuous game on weekends in Florida and Sunrise, which can be a network for two teams that will take on the challenge for the islanders.
If you have a silver lining, even if you have been injured by the recent Noah Dobson and Ryan Prok, the island's defense is strong.
Tony Deangelo and Scott Pernovic have been well right so far, and Alexander Romanov January was as good as Solokin.
“It's not for the last game or something injured or something. Romanov told the post.” If you're working hard, you will improve your game. If you work in detail. You will need to improve.
Romanov was on ice with only two goals during the current consecutive victory of the islanders.
And since the club missed two defeats in the seven -game home stand due to the injury of the upper body, the islanders did not lose the game in 28th place in the lineup with the maple leafs since January 2.
“I knew his game a little, but when you are not playing with a man, you don't pay much attention,” said DeanGelo, who has joined the islanders and has partnered with Romanov. 。 “He's really solid, he's wise and patient with breakouts. He's ready to cross everyone's head and cross the ice, and it's really big and really solid. I feel like it is good for me. “
