Ilya Sorokin may need to break this personal record this season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Despite coming off a season in which the Islanders shocked everyone by fighting for a playoff spot, expectations remain low for this season. Many see this team as a fringe wild-card contender and expect a drop-off in points. Similar to what the expectations were before last season. To take the next step this season, certain players will need to overachieve. They will need at least one player to put in a career performance in order to make the playoffs.

This waivers candidate should be on Matthew Darche’s radar (opens the original)
