Semyon Varlamov Set To Remain Between The Sticks Saturday

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov is expected to make a second consecutive start in Saturday's clash with the Dallas Stars. Regular starter Ilya Sorokin was limited in training camp while recovering from back surgery, giving Varlamov a chance to open the campaign as the Islanders' No.1. He had a hard time against Utah on Thursday, finishing a 5-4 overtime loss with 21 saves. However, the Islanders are going with Varlamov again on Saturday in a tough matchup. The Russian veteran has a strong 17-9-2 career record against Dallas. But he faces a team that went 26-11-4 on home ice last season and is considered a heavy favorite by the bookmakers for Saturday's game.

Semyon Varlamov Keeps Predators Quiet

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov posted his third shutout of the season with 41 saves in Saturday's 2-0 win over Nashville. The Russian veteran saw a lot of the puck but had a perfect game to improve to 11-6-4. Playing as Ilya Sorokin's backup, Varlamov has registered five wins across his last seven starts. His goals-against average for the season stands at 2.72, and Varlamov has posted a .916 save percentage. Sorokin has won each of his last two starts, so the Islanders goalies have heated up just at the right time. The team has climbed to third in the Metropolitan Division, with five games left to play.

Semyon Varlamov On Target To Return Thursday

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov (lower body) is on target to return to action Thursday on the road versus the Montreal Canadiens. The veteran hasn't appeared since suffering his injury in the first period of a Jan. 2 overtime loss to the Colorado Avalanche, one of his former teams. It's been a rock-solid season for Varlamov, who owns a 2.78 goals-against average and a stellar .918 save percentage across 14 outings (13 starts), going 6-4-2 in the process. Additionally, his 6.12 goals saved above average ranks 13th of 67 qualified netminders, as per Hockey Reference. Ilya Sorokin has started all 10 games for the Isles during Varlamov's absence, while Ken Appleby was returned to the AHL when Varlamov was activated off Injured Reserve on Monday.

Semyon Varlamov Resumes Skating

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov has resumed skating as he works his way back from a lower-body injury, according to head coach Lane Lambert. The veteran left a Jan. 2 game against the Colorado Avalanche after just 14:52 due to the injury and has not appeared since. The ailment interrupted what has been a nice season for the 35-year-old who sports a 2.78 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage across 14 appearances (13 starts), going 6-4-2 in that time. His 6.03 goals saved above average ranks 17th of 68 qualified goaltenders, as per Hockey Reference. Not only has Ilya Sorokin started all seven games so far in Varlamov's absence, the Russian netminder has made 12 consecutive starts while backup Ken Appleby has yet to see any game action.

Semyon Varlamov Hurt In Battle With Avalanche

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov couldn't finish Tuesday's game against Colorado, exiting the contest with an undisclosed injury in the first period. He stopped 11 of 12 shots in an eventual 5-4 overtime loss. The veteran netminder only recently missed a game with an unspecified injury. It was the 13th start of the year for the Russian, who has posted a 6-4-2 record behind Ilya Sorokin. Ken Appleby filled the backup duties last week in a game against Washington when Varlamov wasn't available. He'll likely be brought back into the mix if Varlamov has to miss time.

Semyon Varlamov Posts Second Consecutive Shutout

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov made it back-to-back shutouts for himself with a 32-save effort in Thursday's 3-0 road win over the Capitals. Varlamov needed to wait until Oct. 21 to make his season debut, and it didn't go well, as he suffered a 3-1 defeat against Buffalo, but the veteran netminder has since been perfect with his work. He's the first goaltender in franchise history to log back-to-back shutouts at age 35 or older. Varlamov has a tough time getting a look by the Islanders due to the presence of Ilya Sorokin, but he's been fantastic for the team and could get some extra action in the upcoming games after becoming only the third goalie this season with multiple shutouts.

Semyon Varlamov Starts For Islanders On Saturday

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov will log his 21st start of the campaign Saturday against Washington. It's going to be his first outing since Varlamov bagged his second shutout of the season against Winnipeg on Feb. 26. Ilya Sorokin has since then gone 3-0-1, but the Islanders No. 1 is getting a rest day against the Capitals. Varlamov, who started his NHL career with Washington all the way back in 2008-09, has put together a decent 11-7-3 record this season, allowing 2.68 goals per game with a .914 save percentage. The Capitals have dropped nine of their last 12 games, so Varlamov finds himself in a good position to pick up another win.

Semyon Varlamov Bags His Second Shutout

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov posted his second shutout of the campaign Sunday against Winnipeg, pushing away 23 shots in a 4-0 victory. He now has 38 shutouts for his career and this should be the easiest one Varlamov has ever picked up, as the Jets started off by having just one shot on goal in the first period and their second attempt on target didn't come until 5:15 was played in the second period. Varlamov improved to 11-7-3 on Sunday. He's had a tough time this month and even gave up six goals to Boston in his previous start, but Varlamov has done a decent job across the whole campaign, registering a 2.68 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage.

Semyon Varlamov Unable To Play Monday

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov (lower body) will miss Monday's matchup against Colorado and the team considers him day-to-day. The veteran netminder exited Saturday's 5-2 victory over Vegas late in the game with an injury and hasn't recovered in time for Monday's contest. It's a bad blow for Varlamov, as he had started to get more action lately and performed superbly by going 4-0-1 in five starts. He is 8-3-1 overall for the campaign with a 2.65 goals-against average, a .919 save percentage and one shutout. Varlamov's absence means another start for Ilya Sorokin, who has struggled to perform lately, dropping five straight decisions. Getting back on track against the defending champions won't exactly be as easy as pie either.

Semyon Varlamov Can't Complete Saturday's Game

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov left Saturday's 5-2 win over Vegas late with an undisclosed ailment. He was having a great night with 35 saves on 37 shots, but Ilya Sorokin took over the crease for the final few minutes of the game. Islanders head coach Lane Lambert didn't have an update on Varlamov's condition after the game. The team has a very strong goalie tandem, but Sorokin has struggled lately, so being without Varlamov would be far from ideal. He has dropped only three games in regulation this season and carries an 8-3-1 record. Meanwhile, Sorokin has lost five consecutive starts for the first time in his NHL career and is 10-10-0 for the campaign.

Semyon Varlamov Shuts Out Chicago

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov had a perfect night at the office Sunday against Chicago, posting a 21-save shutout in a 3-0 win. It's his first shutout of the campaign and the 12th of his career with the club. Only four goaltenders in franchise history have managed more. The Islanders' goalie situation has been intriguing over the last couple of seasons, with Ilya Sorokin arriving from the KHL. Varlamov was clearly outplayed by his younger compatriot last season, but both have played well in 2022-23, and it's likely causing fantasy managers headaches. Varlamov improved to 6-3-0 on Sunday and Sorokin is 10-7-0. He has dropped his last two decisions despite giving up only two goals on both occasions, while Varlamov's recent form includes a 4-1-0 record.

Semyon Varlamov Unavailable On Sunday

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov will sit out Sunday's contest against Toronto with an illness. The veteran netminder has caught a stomach bug and is currently being kept away from the team. Varlamov has put together a 9-15-2 record this season, with six of his wins coming since the start of last month. Ilya Sorokin, who is 25-15-7 for the year, will get his 48th start on Sunday. He's just posted his seventh shutout of the season against Montreal and has some really strong numbers with a 2.29 goals-against average and a .928 save percentage. However, Toronto has lit up a lot of goalies lately, and picking Sorokin for Sunday's action might not be a smart choice for fantasy managers.

Semyon Varlamov Extends Win Streak With A Shutout

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov registered his second shutout of the season Friday with a 27-save effort in a 3-0 win over the Rangers. He became the second goalie in league history to have four straight road shutouts against one opponent. Alec Connell did it first with the original Ottawa Senators against the New York Americans all the way back in 1926. This marks Varlamov's third straight victory, and he's now 9-13-2 for the season with a 2.73 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage. The Russian veteran has picked a good time to put in his best performances of the season, as Ilya Sorokin (upper body) is injured and it's unclear when he'll be game ready again. The Islanders officially consider him as day-to-day.

Semyon Varlamov Frustrates Senators With First Shutout

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov recorded his first shutout of the season on Tuesday, pushing away 24 shots in a 3-0 victory over Ottawa. The Senators threw most of their shots (13) in Varlamov's way in the opening period but couldn't find a way through and had to settle for another loss when the Islanders scored three goals inside the final 10 minutes of play. Varlamov upped his record to 6-10-2 and now sits on a 2.67 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage for the season. The Russian veteran has collected half of his wins across his last four starts, so he's finally hit some form, and fantasy managers should pay attention.

Semyon Varlamov Stops 36 Shots In New York Win

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov stopped 36 shots in the 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night. Only a late first period Kyle Okposo power-play goal kept Varlamov from getting his first shutout of the 2021-22 season. The Russian goaltender came into the night with just one win in eight appearances (1-5-1). The goalie did stop all 28 shots he faced at even strength. That had been an issue at times during the season. Varlamov is now 2-1-1 in his last four starts while yielding just eight goals. Maybe like the Islanders' season, Varlamov's year is turning around as well.

Semyon Varlamov Finally Gets His First Win Of The Season

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov had a big 40-save performance against Boston on Thursday, grabbing his first win of the season with a 3-1 result. The Russian netminder missed the start of the season with an injury and the team then went through a horrible losing streak, and thus Varlamov has struggled to get into the win column. He's now 1-5-1 for the year with a 2.99 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage. The 33-year-old was very close to his first shutout as well on Thursday, with Mike Reilly scoring only inside the final minute of play.

Semyon Varlamov Will Be Between The Pipes Against Chicago

New York Islanders goalie Semyon Varlamov will try and help his team break a 10-game losing streak Sunday against Chicago. Varlamov has yet to win a game this season, posting an 0-4-0 record. He also carries a 3.46 goals-against average and an .881 save percentage. The veteran Russian netminder needs to be on top of his game Sunday, as Chicago is starting to play better after a disastrous start to begin the season.

Ilya Sorokin Again Starts With Semyon Varlamov Still Unavailable

New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin will continue in the crease on Saturday against Arizona, with Semyon Varlamov (undisclosed) still not ready to make his season debut. The veteran netminder has been ruled out for at least two more games, meaning that Sorokin might also start on Sunday versus Vegas. He's currently backed up by Cory Schneider. Sorokin hasn't done too much wrong this season, but the team is off to a slow start, leaving the Russian with a 1-2-1 record. He's registered a 3.50 goals-against average with a .901 save percentage. Following Sunday's outings, the Islanders will be off until next Saturday, giving Varlamov some nice recovery time.

Semyon Varlamov Travels With Team But Isn't Ready For Thursday

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov (undisclosed) will travel with the team to Carolina, but he isn't expected to play on Thursday. Hard-hitting winger Matt Martin is also among the traveling squad but isn't game-ready either. Varlamov split time with Ilya Sorokin last season as both Russian netminders enjoyed a very good campaign behind a rock-solid Islanders defense. The 33-year-old posted a 19-11-4 record with a 2.04 goals-against average, a .929 save percentage and seven shutouts. Sorokin, who went 13-6-3 during his rookie year, is a great backup option for the Islanders and for fantasy managers, but Thursday's matchup is a tough one.

Semyon Varlamov Posts Another Shutout Against Rangers

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov made 28 saves to earn his NHL-leading seventh shutout of the season in Saturday's 3-0 victory against the Rangers. The 33-year-old has been terrific all season long against the Rangers, earning four of his seven shutouts against them. Varlamov has posted a record of 19-9-4 to go along with a 1.99 goals against average and .930 save percentage through 33 games, making the veteran goaltender a must-start option each night and in the conversation for the Vezina trophy.
