Varlamov turned aside 27 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The Islanders held a 3-2 lead midway through the third period, but Kirby Dach tipped home a point shot with just over four minutes left in regulation before Mike Matheson banged home the rebound on a two-on-one Montreal break with only 22 seconds left in the extra frame. After allowing four goals in total over his prior three starts, Varlamov wasn't able to steal another win for New York, but on the season he still sports a respectable 2.64 GAA and .917 save percentage.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov has been great in his last two starts, giving up only two goals on 72 shots in wins over Vegas and Philadelphia. He's 10-6-1 with a 2.57 GAA and .920 save percentage overall. Varlamov will face the Canadiens, who rank 29th in scoring at 2.59 goals per game.

Varlamov stopped 25 of 26 shots in Monday's 2-1 victory over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov now has wins in back-to-back games for the first time since early December. The netminder had found himself on the outside looking in behind Ilya Sorokin but has now played in three of the Islanders' last four contests. With a back-to-back on the schedule, Sorokin should get the nod against the Kraken on Tuesday.

Varlamov was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports, indicating he will start in Philadelphia on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov has a 9-6-1 record this season with a 2.67 GAA and a .918 save percentage. The Flyers rank 27th in the league this year with 2.78 goals per game. With Varlamov getting the first half of the Islanders' back-to-back, Ilya Sorokin is likely to be in goal for Tuesday's contest against Seattle.

Varlamov made 44 saves in a 2-1 overtime win over Vegas on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov dazzled all night long and especially in OT when he stopped four shots, including a William Carrier penalty shot just 26 seconds in. He also made a highlight-reel save in the third on a 4-on-3 rush during a power play when he reached back with his stick and somehow denied Reilly Smith a gift into an open net. Varlamov hadn't won since December 17 and was 0-3-0 in three starts this month.

Varlamov will guard the home goal versus the Golden Knights on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NYI Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov will start the second half of a back-to-back after Ilya Sorokin shut out the Red Wings on Friday. The 34-year-old Varlamov has lost all three of his appearances in January, allowing a combined 10 goals on 83 shots in those outings. The Golden Knights are also playing for the second straight day after losing 4-1 to the Rangers on Friday.

Varlamov made 36 saves in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov did what he could to keep his team in this one, but the Islanders couldn't dig out of a 2-0 hole and fell to 1-7-3 over their last 11 games. Both Varlamov and Ilya Sorokin generally give the Islanders a chance to win, but unless the anemic offense in front of them picks things up, it will be hard for the team to work its way back into playoff contention.

Varlamov was the first goalie to exit the ice Wednesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating he'll be in goal versus the Senators on the road.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov has appeared in just two of the Islanders' last 17 contests, suffering a pair of losses in which he conceded eight goals on 45 shots (.822 save percentage). With a back-to-back against the Red Wings Wings and the Golden Knights on Friday and Saturday, respectively, Varlamov will likely get another start soon.
