Varlamov will defend the cage versus Boston on the road Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov will take the first game of the Isles' back-to-back, which means fantasy managers can expect to see Ilya Sorokin against the Lightning on Sunday. On the year, the 33-year-old Varlamov has posted a subpar 6-12-2 record with a .917 save percentage, but he enters Saturday's contest fresh off a 24-save shutout against the Senators on Tuesday.
