DAILY PRIME TODAY: VARLAMOV BOUNCES BACK primepucks.com Mon 11/11/13 10:35 AM

After a tough outing against Nashville, where he gave up 5 goals on 27 shots, goaltender Semyon Varlamov bounced back strongly with a 33-save effort in Colorado's 4-1 win over Washington. The 25-year old had additional motivation facing his former team, but his excellent play in the crease has been overshadowed by his much-publicized personal issues. Perhaps now, Varlamov owners can be rest assured that his dream season will continue without a hitch, so don't panic and "sell-high" yet. The biggest difference in "Varly's" numbers this season is that he has not been a liability in his road starts. In '12-13, he owned a dismal 1-14 record away from home, with a 3.67 GAA and a .882 SP. However, he has been 3-0 on the road so far with a 1.31 GAA and a .959 SP. Obviously, the "Patrick Roy" factor has Varlamov playing on an All-Star level, so keep riding his hot hand in goal. More Goalie News: Martin Brodeur enjoyed an easy shutout in the 5-0 win over Nashville, turning aside all 15 shots. He looks to have a leg up in the goaltending competition over Cory Schneider with his recent hot streak, winning four of his last five starts while allowing only five goals over that span.... Frederik Anderson of Anaheim cannot be stopped, as he kicked away 35 of 36 shots in the 3-1 win over Vancouver. He now sports a 6-0 record with a 1.41 GAA and .952 SP, making him a mandatory handcuff for all Jonas Hiller fantasy owners. Fantasy Game Notes: The fantasy forward of the night was Montreal's Alex Galchenyuk, who scored a goal and added two assists in Montreal's 4-2 win over the Isles. The 19-year old's starpower is on a steep rise, as he collected 14 points in 18 games in his sophomore year. He has been on a line with Brendan Gallagher and Lars Eller, which could end up being the dominant offensive line for the Habs.... Nick Bonino, who scored the game-winner for Anaheim, has the makings of a great fantasy sleeper for this season. With 11 points in 19 games, he has been firmly entrenched in the Duck's top-six and even played on the top line last night with Ryan Getzlaf out due to injury.... Dan Boyle scored 2 power-play goals for San Jose in the 5-4 SO loss to Winnipeg. After missing a half a month due to a hit from behind by Maxim Lapierre, he looks good to go and should be a decent no.3 fantasy defenseman from here on out.... Keep an eye on Erik Johnson, who is logging huge minutes for Colorado blueline and with two assists last night, he now has 7 points in 16 games. Tyson Barrie and the rest of the young Av's d-men have not been the answer, so Johnson could start fulfilling some of the failed hype expected from the former overall no.1 pick.... Get James Neal back in your fantasy lineups, as he will resume his role on the Penguin's second line with Evgeni Malkin and Jussi Jokinen.... Rick Nash has been skating for the New York Rangers, not experiencing any concussion symptoms for three days. An encouraging sign for Nash owners, but he still has a way to go.
