Impact Varlamov turned in arguably his best game of the season, which was his third shutout of the campaign and his first since Nov. 2.

With the Islanders in the thick of the playoff race, head coach Patrick Roy has gone with the hot hand in goal, which has led to Varlamov eating into Ilya Sorokin's playing time.

May start Saturday Per Andrew Gross of Newsday, Varlamov is in the starter's crease at morning skate and could get the home start versus Nashville on Saturday.

Impact Coach Patrick Roy said Thursday that Varlamov would get the start. Varlamov has won three of his last four starts, giving him a 10-8-4 record with a 2.84 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 24 appearances. The Predators are currently first in the wild card race in Western Conference with 92 points.

Grabs OT win Varlamov stopped 30 of 33 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win against the Flyers.

Impact Varlamov may be second fiddle to Ilya Sorokin, but he's still proved to have value for fantasy managers. He's been at a .909 save percentage or better in his last four starts and has a .911 through 24 games on the season.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start in Philadelphia Varlamov was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating he will guard the road goal Monday against the Flyers.

Impact Varlamov will make his third straight start after stopping 62 of 67 shots in his previous two outings en route to a 1-1-0 record. He has gone 9-8-4 this season with a 2.83 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 23 games played. The Flyers rank 24th in the league this campaign with 2.87 goals per contest.

Game improving, but results vary Varlamov made 36 saves in a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Impact Varlamov has gone 3-1-1 in his last five starts in the last three weeks, which is a nice boost after going 0-4-2 in seven starts between Dec. 16 and Feb. 22. The Isles went up 1-0 early in the first period on a fluke deflection, but Darren Raddysh and Anthony Cirelli scored 35 seconds apart later in the frame, and the Bolts never looked back. Varlamov and the Isles play back-to-back games Monday in Philly and Tuesday at home against Chicago. Both are theoretically winnable games, even for a struggling New York squad. And Varlamov will get one of them.

Between pipes against Bolts Varlamov will tend the twine on the road against Tampa Bay on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Varlamov will make consecutive appearances in goal for just the second time this season. It comes as the veteran netminder is undefeated in regulation over his last four outings, posting a 3-0-1 record, 2.47 GAA and .914 save percentage. Even with the strong run of form, Varlamov probably shouldn't be expected to steal the starting gig away from Ilya Sorokin.

Picks up win over Florida Varlamov made 26 saves in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.

Impact Florida took a 2-1 lead early in the second period, but Varlamov shut the door the rest of the way as the Isles rallied for a vital win as they try to stay in the playoff picture. The veteran netminder hasn't taken a regulation loss in March, going 3-0-1 on the month with a 2.47 GAA and .914 save percentage, and with Ilya Sorokin looking worn down while dropping six straight starts, Varlamov could find himself in a timeshare over the final weeks of the regular season.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod for Thursday Varlamov will be between the pipes on the road against the Panthers on Thursday, Denis P. Gorman of Newsday reports.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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. Varlamov hasn't seen much work in recent weeks, but he's gone 2-0-1 in his three March starts and has allowed eight goals on 88 shots (,909 save percentage).

Falls to Sens in OT Varlamov made 26 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Ottawa.

Impact The islanders took a 2-1 lead into the third period, but a wild finish to the afternoon affair saw the final three goals get 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, and with the Isles scrambling to stay in the playoff race, the 35-year-old netminder's workload could be very limited down the stretch.
