Varlamov will guard the home goal during Wednesday's matchup with the Kraken, Brian Compton of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Varlamov was sharp in his last start Thursday versus LA, turning aside 27 of 29 shots, but he was ultimately stuck with his ninth loss of the year due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. The 33-year-old netminder will try to snap his personal two-game losing streak in a favorable home matchup with a Seattle squad that's 5-13-2 on the road this year.

Varlamov made 27 saves on 29 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Kings on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Varlamov ran into a few powerful wristers from Quinton Byfield and Andreas Athanasiou in this one, though he certainly kept his team in it. The Russian netminder has allowed just 11 goals over his last six appearances, including a stretch of four starts where he allowed just one goal. The 33-year-old is part of a timeshare but is certainly putting up solid production when he's out there, with a 2.65 GAA and .915 save percentage.

Varlamov made 20 saves Saturday in a 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
The first two went five-hole -- Mitch Marner slid the puck through on a shorthanded breakaway at 13:25 of the first and Pierre Engvall backhanded it between Varlamov's pads with 0.4 seconds left in the same period. Morgan Rielly beat him short side from he bottom of the right circle at the 9:42 mark of the second. Varlamov is 1-2-0 in his last three starts with seven goals allowed.

Varlamov will guard the home goal Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Varlamov won his last appearance, allowing three goals on 34 shots versus the Flyers on Tuesday. The 33-year-old netminder has gone just 3-6-1 this year, so he's a shaky play in fantasy against a strong Maple Leafs offense.

Varlamov stopped 31 shots in regulation and overtime and all nine shootout attempts he faced in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
After the two teams traded goals in each period during the first 60 minutes and settled nothing in overtime, Varlamov and Carter Hart geared up for an epic shootout that saw the two goalies deny 17 straight shooters before Oliver Wahlstrom finally ended things. Varlamov seems to be rediscovering his form from last season, as he's 3-1-0 over his last four starts with a 1.49 GAA and .959 save percentage.

Varlamov will defend the blue paint in Tuesday's road game against the Flyers, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Varlamov stopped 34 of 35 shots in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Tom Wilson beat him early in the first period, but Varlamov slammed the door shut the rest of the way to give the Isles a chance to mount a comeback. Unfortunately, his teammates couldn't solve Vitek Vanecek in the opposite crease. Varlamov has a rough 2-6-1 record in his 10 appearances this season, but his 2.59 GAA and .917 save percentage are worthy of much better results.

EDGE Analysis
Varlamov was razor sharp in his last start Dec. 30 against the Sabres, turning aside 36 of 37 shots en route to a 4-1 victory. The 33-year-old netminder will try to secure a third straight win in a home matchup with a Washington team that's averaging 3.22 goals per game on the road this year, eighth in the NHL.

Varlamov made 36 saves in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Varlamov got off to an 0-5-1 start this season, but he has since won consecutive starts two weeks apart, setting aside 76 of 78 shots in those two games. The Islanders are still languishing near the bottom of the standings and need lights-out play in net to win on most nights given their lackluster offense, but at least Varlamov is starting to earn a greater share of playing time compared to Ilya Sorokin. With every point at a premium, New York will liekly ride the hot hand in net, and right now that's Varlamov.
