Semyon Varlamov Starting Against Penguins
4 years agoNew York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov will get the nod for the 12th time this season on Thursday against the Penguins. He has a 7-2-2 record for the season with a 1.89 goals-against average, a .931 save percentage, and three shutouts. Varlamov's only loss in five starts this month came against the Penguins on Feb. 11 in a shootout. However, he has also logged a 4-3 win against Pittsburgh in February and the Islanders boast seven wins in the past nine meetings between the two, so Varlamov is in a strong spot to pick up another victory.
