EDGE Analysis

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.
