March 30, 2024 Varlamov made 36 saves in a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday. - Varlamov has gone 3-1-1 in his last five starts in the last three weeks, which is a nice boost after going 0-4-2 in seven starts between Dec. 16 and Feb. 22. The Isles went up 1-0 early in the first period on a fluke deflection, but Darren Raddysh and Anthony Cirelli scored 35 seconds apart later in the frame, and the Bolts never looked back. Varlamov and the Isles play back-to-back games Monday in Philly and Tuesday at home against Chicago. Both are theoretically winnable games, even for a struggling New York squad. And Varlamov will get one of them. None
March 29, 2024 Varlamov made 26 saves in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Panthers. - Florida took a 2-1 lead early in the second period, but Varlamov shut the door the rest of the way as the Isles rallied for a vital win as they try to stay in the playoff picture. The veteran netminder hasn't taken a regulation loss in March, going 3-0-1 on the month with a 2.47 GAA and .914 save percentage, and with Ilya Sorokin looking worn down while dropping six straight starts, Varlamov could find himself in a timeshare over the final weeks of the regular season. None
March 27, 2024 Varlamov will be between the pipes on the road against the Panthers on Thursday, Denis P. Gorman of Newsday reports. - Varlamov is undefeated in regulation over his last three outings, posting a 2-0-1 record to go with a 2.63 GAA and .909 save percentage. While the 35-year-old backstop might be getting the nod Thursday, he remains the second-choice option behind Ilya Sorokin. None
March 23, 2024 Varlamov made 32 saves in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Jets. - The veteran netminder did fade late, allowing two goals in the third period, but the Islanders had already built a 6-1 lead heading into the second intermission. Varlamov hasn't seen much work in recent weeks, but he's gone 2-0-1 in his three March starts and has allowed eight goals on 88 shots (,909 save percentage). None
March 21, 2024 Varlamov will tend the twine at home against the Jets on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Varlamov has been struggling to pick up wins, securing just one victory in his last six outings. During that stretch, the netminder is 1-3-2 with a 3.02 GAA and a .889 save percentage. Before Varlamov gets the nod Saturday, starter Ilya Sorokin will defend the cage against Detroit on the road Thursday. None
March 16, 2024 Varlamov made 26 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Ottawa. - The Islanders took a 2-1 lead into the third period, but a wild finish to the afternoon affair saw the final three goals scored on power plays, including Brady Tkachuk's OT winner. Varlamov has just one win in four starts since the All-Star break, going 1-2-1 with an .889 save percentage. With the Isles scrambling to stay in the playoff race, the 35-year-old netminder's workload could be limited down the stretch. None
March 15, 2024 Varlamov will patrol the home crease versus Ottawa on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports. - The Islanders play back-to-back on the weekend and Ilya Sorokin will start Sunday against the Rangers. Varlamov defeated the Ducks in his last start, stopping 22 shots in a 6-1 win. Varlamov is 7-7-3 with a 2.80 GAA and a .912 save percentage this season. The Senators are averaging 3.16 goals, 15th in the NHL. None
March 10, 2024 Varlamov stopped 22 of 23 shots in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Ducks. - Varlamov had gone over two weeks without game action, his longest stretch on the bench while healthy this season. He went 0-4-2 with 22 goals allowed over his previous eight outings, but a meeting with the punchless Ducks helped him get back in the win column. The 35-year-old is up to 7-7-3 with a 2.80 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 19 appearances this season. Ilya Sorokin will start Monday against the Kings and should see most of the starts down the stretch. None
March 9, 2024 Varlamov will defend the road net Sunday against Anaheim, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com. - Varlamov has gone 6-7-3 this season with two shutouts, a 2.91 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 18 appearances. He will get the first half of the Islanders' back-to-back, which could set up Ilya Sorokin to play in Monday's road matchup against the Kings. The Ducks rank 30th in the league this campaign with 2.62 goals per contest. None
Feb. 22, 2024 Varlamov allowed three goals on 24 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Blues. - Varlamov surrendered all three goals within 32 seconds early in the second period -- Brandon Saad opened the scoring with a power-play marker before Pavel Buchnevich subsequently tallied a pair of goals. The 35-year-old Varlamov has struggled since returning from a three-week IR stint, going 0-3-1 with an .881 save percentage. Overall, he's 6-7-3 with a .910 save percentage and 2.91 GAA while backing up Ilya Sorokin this season. None
Feb. 20, 2024 Varlamov will start on the road versus the Blues on Thursday, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports. - Varlamov will get the nod after Ilya Sorokin stopped 37 of 41 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins. It's been over two months since Varlamov last logged a win, but he has just seven appearances in that span, going 0-3-2 with a 3.44 GAA and an .894 save percentage. The Blues have scored 21 goals over their last six games, so they may be a tough challenge for Varlamov to get his game back on track. None
Feb. 10, 2024 Varlamov will patrol the home crease versus Calgary on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports. - Varlamov will make his 600th NHL appearance. He has been a backup goaltender to Ilya Sorokin the last three seasons after being a No. 1 goaltender the previous 10 campaigns. Varlamov is 6-5-3 with a 2.88 GAA and a .914 save percentage this season. The Flames have won three straight games and are 12-11-4 on the road this season. None
Jan. 27, 2024 Varlamov will guard the home goal versus the Panthers on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports. - This comes as a bit of a surprise, as Varlamov allowed four goals on 26 shots Thursday versus the Canadiens in his return from a lower-body injury. During Varlamov's absence, Ilya Sorokin went 3-6-1 with a .907 save percentage, so this may be a case of the Islanders trying to give their top goalie some extra rest heading into the All-Star break. The Panthers present a tough challenge for Varlamov, as they've scored scored 12 times during their three-game winning streak. None
Jan. 26, 2024 Varlamov turned aside 22 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens. - Making his first appearance since Jan. 2 after recovering from a lower-body injury, Varlamov was under siege early and gave up two power-play goals in the first period as the Isles fell behind 3-0. The 35-year-old netminder rallied and gave his team a chance to tie it up, but he was eventually beaten by a Sean Monahan one-timer from the slot with just over two minutes left in the third. Varlamov wasn't playing all that well even before he got hurt -- since the beginning of December, he carries a 3.42 GAA and .894 save percentage over seven appearances -- and while Ilya Sorokin hasn't been sharp of late either, a return to a timeshare between them seems unlikely. None
Jan. 23, 2024 Varlamov is expected to defend the road net Thursday against Montreal, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday. - Varlamov will return to the backup role in Tuesday's home contest against Vegas after he missed the past nine games due to a lower-body injury. Ilya Sorokin will make his 10th straight start versus the Golden Knights, so getting Varlamov some playing time and giving Sorokin a break against the Canadiens makes plenty of sense. The 35-year-old Varlamov has a 6-4-2 record this season with a 2.78 GAA and a .918 save percentage over 14 appearances this season. None
Jan. 22, 2024 Varlamov (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Monday. - Varlamov will be available for Tuesday's home matchup against Vegas, though it's unclear at this time if he will start or serve as Ilya Sorokin's backup. Varlamov, who missed the past nine games, has a 6-4-2 record this season with two shutouts, a 2.78 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 14 appearances. None
Jan. 19, 2024 Varlamov (lower body) is back on the ice Friday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday. - Varlamov has been out of action since Jan. 2. This is a good first step in his eventual return to action. Varlamov is 6-4-2 with a 2.78 GAA and a .918 save percentage this season. Ken Appleby has taken his place as the backup to Ilya Sorokin and Appleby will presumably return to the minors when Varlamov is activated from injured reserve. None
Jan. 9, 2024 Varlamov (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. - In a corresponding move, Adam Pelech (upper body) was activated from long-term injured reserve. Varlamov, who has been out since Jan. 2, doesn't have an exact timetable for his return. Ken Appleby has been serving as Ilya Sorokin's backup. None
Jan. 8, 2024 Varlamov (upper body) has yet to resume skating according to head coach Lane Lambert, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Monday. - The fact that the team continues to call Varlamov day-to-day seems insincere considering he is not even skating yet. Given the latest update, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be expecting the netminder to suit up in any of the Isles' next three contests, though he hasn't been officially ruled out beyond Tuesday's clash with Vancouver. Even once cleared to play, Varlamov figures to remain the second-choice option behind Ilya Sorokin. None
Jan. 6, 2024 Varlamov (lower body) won't be in the lineup Saturday against Vegas, per Andrew Gross of Newsday. - Varlamov will miss his second straight contest after leaving Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to Colorado in the first period. Ilya Sorokin will be backed up by Ken Appleby in Saturday's matchup versus the Golden Knights. None
Jan. 4, 2024 Varlamov's previously undisclosed injury is a lower-body issue. He's traveling with the Islanders as they play in Arizona on Thursday and Vegas on Saturday, per Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News. - Varlamov started Tuesday versus Colorado, but he left the contest late in the first period due to the injury. He has a 6-4-2 record, 2.78 GAA and .918 save percentage in 14 contests this season. Ilya Sorokin is slated to start Thursday versus the Coyotes. None
Jan. 2, 2024 Varlamov was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating he will guard the road goal Tuesday against Colorado. - Varlamov has gone 6-4-2 this season with two shutouts, a 2.75 GAA and a .918 save percentage over 13 games played. In four career contests against the Avalanche, he has stopped 135 of 147 shots en route to a 2-2-0 record. The Avalanche rank third in the league this campaign with 3.59 goals per contest. None
Dec. 31, 2023 Varlamov (undisclosed) is expected to return as Ilya Sorokin's backup Sunday. - Varlamov was unavailable Friday with an undisclosed injury. The 35-year-old netminder is 6-4-2 with a .918 save percentage this season while backing up Sorokin. None
Dec. 29, 2023 Varlamov (undisclosed) will not dress Friday versus Washington, according to Ethan Sears of the New York Post. - Ilya Sorokin will get the start and Ken Appleby will be the backup for the Islanders. Varlamov has outplayed Sorokin this season, albeit in limited action as Varlamov is 6-4-2 with a 2.75 GAA and .919 save percentage. Consider Varlamov day-to-day at this time. None
Dec. 28, 2023 Varlamov stopped six of seven shots after replacing Ilya Sorokin to begin the third period of Wednesday's 7-0 loss to the Penguins. - Little went right for the Islanders on Wednesday, but Varlamov at least wasn't too busy over the final 20 minutes. The veteran netminder had given up at least three goals in nine straight starts prior to this relief appearance, and over that stretch he's posted a 3.31 GAA and .899 save percentage, albeit with a 4-3-2 record. None
Dec. 21, 2023 Varlamov turned aside 33 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals. - The Isles rallied twice from one-goal deficits as their netminder kept them in the game, but a Noah Dobson tripping penalty in OT put Varlamov in a tough spot, and he couldn't find Dylan Strome's shot from the high slot through a screen. Despite his strong play Wednesday, Varlamov has allowed at least three goals in nine straight starts, a stretch in which he's gone 4-3-2 with a 3.32 GAA and .900 save percentage. None
Dec. 20, 2023 Varlamov will tend the twine on the road against the Capitals on Wednesday, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports. - Varlamov has given up three or more goals in each of his last eight appearances, posting a 4-3-1 record, 3.37 GAA and .897 save percentage. Back-to-backs have increased the veteran backstop's workload of late but he should return to playing every third game coming out of the Christmas break. None
Dec. 16, 2023 Varlamov will guard the road goal Saturday against Montreal, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday. - Varlamov has stopped 120 of 133 shots during his four-game win streak. He will get the second half of New York's back-to-back after Ilya Sorokin played in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to Boston. Varlamov has posted a 6-3-1 record this season with a 2.60 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 10 appearances. The Canadiens rank 28th in the league this campaign with 2.62 goals per game. None
Dec. 13, 2023 Varlamov is expected to start at home Wednesday against Anaheim, per Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News. - Varlamov has surrendered at least three goals in each of his last six contests, but he's also had to face over 30 shots in each of his past four appearances. Anaheim ranks 25th this year in shots per game with 29.7 and 28th offensively with 2.59 goals per game, so perhaps the Ducks will give Varlamov an easier time than his recent opponents. Overall this campaign, the 35-year-old goaltender has a 5-3-1 record, 2.56 GAA and .925 save percentage in nine outings. None
Dec. 8, 2023 Varlamov stopped 32 of 35 shots face in a 7-3 victory over Columbus on Thursday. - Varlamov now has wins in each of his last three contests and hasn't suffered a regulation loss since Nov. 11 against Washington. Despite his strong run of play, the 35-year-old backstop figures to remain the No. 2 option behind Ilya Sorokin. Still, Varlamov has been playing every third game for the Isles, which would see him getting the nod against Anaheim on Wednesday. None
Dec. 7, 2023 Varlamov will be between the home pipes versus Columbus on Thursday, according to Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News. - Varlamov has played quite well this season, going 4-3-1 with a 2.49 GAA and .926 save percentage. He will replace the struggling Ilya Sorokin, who has given up 13 goals on 115 shots in his last three starts. Varlamov was perfect versus Columbus on Oct. 28, stopping all 34 shots in a 2-0 win. The Blue Jackets are averaging 29.9 shots on goal this season, 21st-best in the NHL. None
Dec. 1, 2023 Varlamov kicked out 39 of 43 shots in a 5-4 overtime win over Carolina on Thursday. - Carolina outshot the Islanders in every period, including a staggering 30-7 combined over the second and third frames, so without Varlamov's efforts, this game likely would have gone differently. He has a favorable 2.49 GAA and .926 save percentage in eight contests this season, but those numbers are heavily influenced by the two shutouts he collected from Oct. 28-Nov. 2. Over his last five appearances, Varlamov has a 3.38 GAA and an .896 save percentage. None
Nov. 30, 2023 Varlamov will defend the visiting crease versus Carolina on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports. - Varlamov is 3-3-1 with a 2.30 GAA and .930 save percentage this season. He will make his second appearance in six games as Ilya Sorokin is the undisputed No. 1 netminder with the Islanders. It's a tough matchup for the Islanders as they are in fifth place in the Metropolitan Division, four points behind the second-place Hurricanes, who are tied for 10th in NHL scoring, averaging 3.33 goals per game. None
Nov. 25, 2023 Varlamov allowed three goals on 31 shots in Friday's 5-3 road win against the Senators. - Varlamov benefited from four unanswered goals from late in the first period to the middle of the second period, and the Islanders never looked back. The 35-year-old Russian goaltender picked up his first victory since Nov. 2 in Washington, a span of four starts. He'll likely get a rest Saturday in New Jersey in the second end of a back-to-back situation. None
Nov. 24, 2023 Varlamov is expected to start on the road against Ottawa on Friday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday. - Varlamov will attempt to bounce back after losing his last three contests while allowing 10 goals on 90 shots (.889 save percentage) over that stretch. Through six appearances this season, he has a 2-3-1 record, 2.18 GAA and .934 save percentage. The Senators rank fourth offensively this campaign with 3.73 goals per game. None
Nov. 16, 2023 Varlamov will protect the road goal versus the Kraken on Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Varlamov gets the second half of a back-to-back after Ilya Sorokin took a 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks on Wednesday. Varlamov has allowed seven goals over his last two games, but he'll get a matchup against a slumping Kraken team that is 1-3-2 over the last six games. None
Nov. 11, 2023 Varlamov will defend the home crease versus Washington on Saturday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday. - This will be Varlamov's second start in the last three games as Ilya Sorokin is getting some time off. Varlamov is 2-2-0 with a 1.77 GAA and .950 save percentage. He was perfect against the Capitals on Nov. 2, stopping all 32 shots in a 3-0 victory. None
Nov. 8, 2023 Varlamov turned aside 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild. - The Islanders held a 2-1 lead midway through the second period, but for the second straight game they suffered a late meltdown, and Varlamov couldn't steal a win for his squad. It was a tough comedown after the veteran netminder had recorded back-to-back shutouts in his prior two starts, but Varlamov will likely remain in a timeshare with Ilya Sorokin until the younger goalie regains his form. None
Nov. 7, 2023 Per Andrew Gross of Newsday, Varlamov was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, indicating he'll guard the home goal against Minnesota on Tuesday. - Varlamov was unbeatable in his last start Thursday against the Capitals, stopping all 32 shots he faced en route to a 3-0 victory and his second shutout of the season. He'll try to extend his personal winning streak to three games in a favorable road matchup with a Wild team that's gone 1-3-1 on the road this year. None
Nov. 2, 2023 Varlamov will patrol the visiting crease versus Washington on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports. - Varlamov was outstanding in his last start, stopping all 34 shots in a 2-0 win over Columbus on Saturday.

In 17 career appearances against the Islanders, he has posted a 9-5-2 record with a 2.26 GAA and a .935 save percentage. None
Oct. 21, 2023 Varlamov made 40 saves Saturday in a 3-1 loss to Buffalo. - Varlamov gave the Isles a chance, but he got zero help from his teammates, other than a goal that went in off a Buffalo defender. His efforts probably kept this game from being a complete blowout. The Isles have an elite tandem with Ilya Sorokin and Varlamov, but at some point they need to figure out how to score. None
Oct. 20, 2023 Varlamov will be in the visiting crease versus Buffalo on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - It will be Varlamov's first start of the season. Varlamov is solidified as the backup goaltender to Ilya Sorokin with the Islanders and should get 25-30 starts this season. Varlamov was 11-9-2 with a 2.70 GAA and .913 save percentage last season. Varlamov lost his only game against the Sabres last season, but it was not his fault as he stopped 33 shots in a 1-0 defeat. None

Coach Lane Lambert has admitted that he will likely continue to rely on Ilya Sorokin between the pipes as they don't play back-to-back games until March 14-15. Varlamov could also draw trade interest before the March 3 trade deadline.

Dec. 21, 2022 Varlamov (lower body) has yet to resume skating, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - The fact that Varlamov has yet to resume skating suggests he'll almost certainly miss Thursday's game versus the Rangers at a minimum.

It's a contract year for Varlamov, so the netminder should be motivated to play more games and to prove he still can be a starter. None

After splitting the starts for most of March, Varlamov was pressed into service with Ilya Sorokin's (upper body) sidelined.

April 1, 2022 Varlamov will start Friday's game against the Rangers. - Varlamov will make his third consecutive start and second in as many nights while Ilya Sorokin continues to recover from an upper-body injury.

Varlamov bricked up the net in the third and got three more goals in support to sweep the home-and-home against Columbus. With Ilya Sorokin (upper body) already ruled out for Friday's game against the Rangers, the Islanders will either ride Varlamov for the second time in as many nights or turn to Cory Schneider in net. None
March 30, 2022 Varlamov made 42 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets. - The Islanders got out-shot 45-29 on the night but Varlamov was the difference, even though things got nervous late after the Jackets nearly clawed their way back from a 4-1 deficit midway through the second period. Varlamov is 4-1-1 over his last seven appearances with a .921 save percentage, although his 2.81 GAA over that stretch indicates how far the Isles' defensive effort has fallen from years past. If Ilya Sorokin's upper-body injury proves to be serious, Varlamov could see a hefty workload over the coming weeks. None
March 29, 2022 Varlamov will start for the Islanders when they take on the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - This was expected as Ilya Sorokin is out of the lineup due to a suspected concussion. Varlamov has had a down season for him and was lit up to the tune of eight goals on 62 shots over the weekend versus the Bruins and Lightning.

None
March 26, 2022 Varlamov will defend the cage versus Boston on the road Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Varlamov will take the first game of the Isles' back-to-back which means fantasy players can expect to see Ilya Sorokin against the Lightning on Sunday.

With only the longest of shots at making the playoffs, there is no reason to think the Isles won't continue with this current split in order to avoid overworking either goaltender, limiting both Varlamov and Sorokin to mid-range fantasy value. None

March 16, 2022 Varlamov stopped 29 of 32 shots in regulation and overtime and six of eight shootout attempts in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals. - It was a solid effort from the 33-year-old netminder, but the Islanders couldn't break through again after letting a 2-1 second-period lead slip through their fingers. Varlamov is 1-3-1 in five starts since returning from the COVID-19 protocols in late February, posting a 3.61 GAA and .901 save percentage over that stretch, while Ilya Sorokin has gone 4-1-0 with a 1.61 GAA during that same period.

The fifth goal was an empty-netter. - Varlamov's personal losing streak hit four games, and this one was arguably the ugliest of the bunch. The Islanders' defense didn't do him any favors, but Varlamov's also struggled to get results for much of the season. The 33-year-old is at 3-10-1 with a 2.67 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 15 appearances. Ilya Sorokin will likely return to the crease Sunday versus the Ducks after getting rest for the first time in almost a month in Saturday's contest. None

Feb. 21, 2022 Varlamov exited the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Monday. - Even with his return to practice, Varlamov will likely be hard-pressed to immediately start for the Isles and figures to instead serve as the No. 2 option behind Ilya Sorokin, though the team hasn't officially named a starter. Prior to entering the protocols, Varlamov was splitting the workload with Sorokin and will likely continue to do so moving forward. None

One would think that even if Varlamov were to be cleared, coach Barry Trotz might want him to get in a full practice before playing in a game.

Dec. 17, 2021 Varlamov made 40 saves in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Bruins. - After recording seven shutouts in 36 appearances last season, Varlamov came into this one still looking for his first win of 2021-22, much less his first clean slate. He fell just 54 seconds short of the latter -- Mike Reilly snapped a shot past him through a partial screen inside the final minute of the third period. Varlamov's 2.99 GAA and .900 save percentage are a far cry from the numbers he put together in his first two campaigns with the Isles, but if the 33-year-old can string together a few more strong outings, he could work his way back into a full timeshare with Ilya Sorokin. None
Dec. 10, 2021 Varlamov allowed four goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Predators. - This one's going to sting. After Nashville scored two goals in the span of 1:24 to take a a 2-1 lead late in the first period, New York responded with a goal in the second and another in the third to retake the lead. The Predators tied it back up with 7:29 remaining before Eeli Tolvanen tipped in the game-winning goal from the high slot with 11.5 seconds remaining. The Islanders have still yet to win at their new UBS Arena, while Varlamov remains winless this season at 0-5-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .884 save percentage. None
Dec. 9, 2021 Varlamov will be stationed between the pipes for Thursday's home tilt with Nashville, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Varlamov is 0-4-1 with a disappointing 3.17 GAA and .887 save percentage through six appearances this season. Thursday's game will be his fourth straight home outing. The 33-year-old is sporting an .882 save percentage at home and is coming off a solid outing where he stopped 24-of-26 shots against the Blackhawks. None
Dec. 5, 2021 Varlamov will defend the blue paint during Sunday's home game versus the Blue Jackets, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Varlamov struggled in his last start Nov. 24 versus the Rangers, surrendering four goals on just 21 shots en route to a 4-1 defeat. The veteran backstop will try to shake off that poor performance and get back in the win column in a home matchup with a Chicago club that's 3-8-1 on the road this year. None
Nov. 24, 2021 Varlamov will protect the home goal in Wednesday's game versus the Rangers, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Varlamov remains in search of his first win, having gone 0-3-0 while allowing 12 goals across four appearances. It's been a lack of offense as much as leaky goaltending for the 33-year-old -- the Islanders have scored just five goals in his three starts. Playing behind a depleted team, Varlamov is a risky fantasy option. None
Nov. 20, 2021 Varlamov will start for the Islanders in their first game at UBS Arena versus the Flames on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - This will be the third start of the season for Varlamov, who comes into the game 0-2-0 with a 2.50 GAA and .893 save percentage. The Islanders are amidst a significant COVID outbreak with no less than five regulars on the protocols list. Those players are Josh Bailey, Anders Lee, Anthony Beauvillier, Adam Pelech, and Andy Greene. Throw in Ryan Pulock, who is out for at least a month with a lower-body injury, and that's half the starting defensemen for the Isles who won't play Saturday. This is not the way the Islanders envisioned opening up their new arena. None
Nov. 17, 2021 Varlamov stopped 17 of 19 shots after replacing Ilya Sorokin to begin the second period of Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers. - While it certainly wasn't a strong effort from the veteran netminder, it was better than what Sorokin managed. Varlamov has a shaky 3.40 GAA and .893 save percentage in three appearances since missing the first few weeks of the season with an undisclosed injury, but he will likely continue to work in a timeshare for the Isles as he rounds back into form. None
Nov. 15, 2021 Varlamov will patrol the crease for Monday's game in Tampa Bay, Brian Compton of NHL.com reports. - Varlamov allowed three goals on 37 shots and took a loss against the Wild in his only appearance so far this season. The veteran netminder posted an outstanding 2.04 GAA and .929 save percentage in 36 games last season. Now that he's healthy, Varlamov and Ilya Sorokin will likely be splitting starts more regularly. None
Nov. 7, 2021 Varlamov will start Sunday's game in Minnesota, Neil Best of Newsday reports. - After dealing with an undisclosed injury for the duration of the campaign, Varlamov will make his season debut against the Wild. Ilya Sorokin has been nothing short of spectacular while Varlamov has been out, reeling off a 1.98 GAA and .939 save percentage in nine starts, so Varlamov will need to be sharp to have a chance at competing for meaningful crease time. None
