Varlamov is 3-0-1 over his last four starts, and on the season he has a dazzling 2.10 GAA and .927 save percentage.

  6D ago •

  Varlamov made 34 saves Thursday in a 7-2 victory over Boston. The game was tight most of the way and was knotted 2-2 until the 5:41 mark of the third. Varlamov made several saves and then his teammates rewarded him with five unanswered goals in the third period, four of which came in a just a 5:48 span. Varlamov has now won two straight games and has allowed two or fewer goals in four of his last six starts. He's a strong start, inhibited only by a defensive squad in front of him that doesn't normally score loads of goals.
