Columbus has consistently been subpar on the road this year with an 11-20-4 record and the Islanders are suddenly only two points back of a playoff spot. New York has the momentum with three wins in their last four games and Sorokin has outperformed either of Columbus's goalies in their last five. In their last four games, the Islanders are averaging nearly four goals scored per game and Columbus has been shutout in three of their last five games.
