Varlamov's teammates couldn't solve Hunter Shepard at the other end, despite having a lot of offensive zone time and many good looks. Varly has lost two consecutive games and allowed seven goals in that span after ringing up two shutouts in the previous two games. But Ilya Sorokin is also struggling with a 1-2-3 record and 24 goals allowed in his last six starts.

Stuck with loss after late fade Varlamov turned aside 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.

Impact The Islanders held a 2-1 lead midway through the second period, but for the second straight game they suffered a late meltdown, and Varlamov couldn't steal a win for his squad.

Second straight shutout Varlamov made 32 saves in a 3-0 win over the Capitals on Thursday.

Impact It was Varlamov's second straight shutout. Washington appeared to pull it to 3-1 at the mid-point of the third period when a shot from the high slot deflected in off T. J. Oshie. But it was overturned on challenge when the video review determined Oshie had interfered with Varlamov. He became the third netminder this season with two shutouts, joining Tristan Jarry of Pittsburgh and Jonas Johansson of Tampa Bay. The crease is still Ilya Sorokin's, but Varlamov could get another start right away given his hot hand.
