Varlamov made 30 saves in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

The Islanders led 2-0 after one, but Columbus pushed back with a pair of unanswered goals in the second. 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.
