BEST: Why Ilya Sorokin IS the NHL Vezina Front-Runner—New York Islanders' STAR DEMANDS Respect

Ilya Sorokin emerges as the frontrunner for the Vezina Trophy as the New York Islanders push for a playoff spot. Can Sorokin’s elite goaltending propel the Islanders deeper into postseason contention and finally earn him the league’s top goalie honor?
