4 years agoNew York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov will start Thursday's matchup against the Rangers. The veteran netminder was dealing with soreness earlier in the week and didn't dress at all for Tuesday's 1-0 loss against Washington, but he's luckily good to go here. Varlamov carries a 17-9-4 record for the season with a 2.12 goals-against average, a .926 save percentage and five shutouts. He's bagged two of the shutouts in his past five appearances, so he looks to be in top form right now. Varlamov has also crushed it against the Rangers throughout the year, putting together a 3-1-0 record with a 1.01 goals-against average and a .965 save percentage.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
