EDGE Analysis

Varlamov is undefeated in regulation over his last three outings, posting a 2-0-1 record to go with a 2.63 GAA and .909 save percentage. While the 35-year-old backstop might be getting the nod Thursday, he remains the second-choice option behind Ilya Sorokin.

Varlamov made 32 saves in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran netminder did fade late, allowing two goals in the third period, but the Islanders had already built a 6-1 lead heading into the second intermission.

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.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov had gone over two weeks without game action, his longest stretch on the bench while healthy this season. He went 0-4-2 with 22 goals allowed over his previous eight outings, but a meeting with the punchless Ducks helped him get back in the win column. The 35-year-old is up to 7-7-3 with a 2.80 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 19 appearances this season. Ilya Sorokin will start Monday against the Kings and should see most of the starts down the stretch.

Varlamov will defend the road net Sunday against Anaheim, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov has gone 6-7-3 this season with two shutouts, a 2.91 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 18 appearances. He will get the first half of the Islanders' back-to-back, which could set up Ilya Sorokin to play in Monday's road matchup against the Kings. The Ducks rank 30th in the league this campaign with 2.62 goals per contest.

Varlamov allowed three goals on 24 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Blues.

The 35-year-old Varlamov has struggled since returning from a three-week IR stint, going 0-3-1 with an .881 save percentage. Overall, he's 6-7-3 with a .910 save percentage and 2.91 GAA while backing up Ilya Sorokin this season.

Varlamov will start on the road versus the Blues on Thursday, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov will get the nod after Ilya Sorokin stopped 37 of 41 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins. It's been over two months since Varlamov last logged a win, but he has just seven appearances in that span, going 0-3-2 with a 3.44 GAA and an .894 save percentage. The Blues have scored 21 goals over their last six games, so they may be a tough challenge for Varlamov to get his game back on track.

Varlamov made 19 saves on 22 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Flames in Saturday. Calgary scored two empty-netters in the third period.

EDGE Analysis

Varlamov has a sparkling reputation as one of the NHL's best backups, but he's in the midst of a painful 0-3-2 run in his last six starts. And he hasn't won since Dec. 13 against Anaheim. Varlamov did miss three weeks with a lower-body injury in January, but he continues to struggle to find his groove. Some of the struggles of the Islanders' netminding tandem have been the result of poor defense. With the arrival of new coach Patrick Roy, the team is starting to buy into a more aggressive defensive structure, which will ultimately benefit both twinetenders. Watch for Varlamov, who has a strong relationship with Roy from his days in Colorado, to get a fair number of starts going forward to better balance Ilya Sorokin's workload. Varlamov's slump will end soon, and the team's new structure could result in better results for fantasy managers.
