Varlamov will start Sunday's game against the Hurricanes, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov was shelled for six goals on just 23 shots by the Rangers on Thursday, but Ilya Sorokin was hardly any better Saturday, giving up five goals in a loss to Buffalo. The Islanders will turn back to Varlamov to complete this weekend back-to-back set in a tough home matchup against a Hurricanes team that sits atop the Metropolitan Division.

Varlamov allowed six goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Andrew Copp had a natural hat trick against Varlamov in the first period and the Rangers never looked back, stretching their lead to 5-1 by the end of the second. Varlamov has dropped each of his last three starts in regulation, allowing 15 goals over that span. He'll be tough to trust down the stretch as the Islanders play out the string on a disappointing non-playoff season.

Varlamov will guard the home goal during Thursday's matchup with the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov struggled in his last start April 9 against the Blues, surrendering six goals on 31 shots en route to a 6-1 defeat. He'll try to bounce back from that lousy performance and secure his 10th win of the season in a tough home matchup with a Rangers team that's won six of its last seven games.

Varlamov (illness) was on the ice for the morning skate Tuesday and is set to back up Ilya Sorokin against the Panthers, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov has been out of action for the last two games due to illness and hasn't appeared in the crease for the Isles since April 9 against the Blues. With two back-to-backs in the team's final seven games, Varlamov should at minimum get two more starts this season. Even if he featured in all seven contests, the 33-year-old netminder will post his lowest win total since 2016-17 when he was limited to just 24 games for the Avalanche.

Varlamov (illness) will not play Sunday against the Maple Leafs, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov did not take part in Sunday's morning skate, and head coach Barry Trotz said afterward that the Islanders' top goaltender would remain unavailable for a second straight contest. Ilya Sorokin is slated to make another start in Varlamov's place.

Varlamov (illness) will not be available Friday against Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Ilya Sorokin will start on back-to-back days while Ken Appleby serves as the backup. Varlamov will be considered questionable for Sunday's tilt in Toronto.

Varlamov made 25 saves in a 6-1 loss to the Blues on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov didn't play poorly - his team around him did. In the first, a wide-open Nick Leddy beat him from the slot to open the game and a wide-open Vladimir Tarasenko picked up a rebound right in front of him and curled the puck around his pad. Justin Faulk beat him twice, including once on a rebound from a 3-on-1, and Ivan Barbashev poked the puck over the goal line on another rebound following a breakaway. No goalie can hold the fort on wide-open looks, odd-man rushes and breakaways. The Isles looked lost Saturday and Varlamov was a sitting duck.

Varlamov is expected to start Saturday against the Blues, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov will get the second half of a back-to-back set after Ilya Sorokin defeated the Hurricanes 2-1 on Friday. The former has a 2.74 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 27 games this season.

Varlamov allowed three goals on 40 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov faced nearly twice as much rubber as Jake Oettinger (19-for-21 in saves) in the contest. Radek Faksa's shorthanded tally in the second period was the difference, sending Varlamov to his first loss since March 26. The 33-year-old netminder slipped to 9-14-2 with a 2.74 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 27 appearances. Ilya Sorokin (upper body) was healthy enough to back up Varlamov on Tuesday, but it's unclear when the former will get his next start. The Islanders wrap up a road trip with a back-to-back, visiting the Hurricanes on Friday and the Blues on Saturday.

Varlamov will be between the pipes on the road versus Dallas on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov is riding a three-game winning streak during which he posted a 1.67 GAA and .952 save percentage. After splitting the starts for most of March, Varlamov was pressed into service with Ilya Sorokin's (upper body) sidelined. Even with Sorokin expected to be fit to back up, Varlamov may have done enough to cement himself as the starter down the stretch.
