Varlamov was pulled after giving up three goals on 13 shots in yesterday's game vs. the Red Wings. He will likely be back in goal tonight because he is the clear #1 goalie in Colorado and he did not last long last night. He is still looking for his first win on the road this season.
Varlamov played amazing, making some spectacular saves in a 34-save shutout performance vs. the Predators on Saturday. He will get the nod tonight on the road vs. the Red Wings. He is 0-11-2 with a 3.64 GAA and .889 SV% away from the Pepsi Center this season.
Varlamov allowed two goals on 18 shots in his last outing in a 4-1 loss to LA. He has a good matchup this afternoon vs. the Predators.
Varlamov lost to Calgary last night and has a difficult matchup vs. the Canucks tonight. Looks elsewhere.
The Avs have lost six of their past seven games. Varlamov allowed four goals on 15 shots and was puled early in the second in his last start. He has a good chance to get the Avs back in the win column
The Avs have lost six of their past seven games. Varlamov allowed four goals on 15 shots and was puled early in the second in his last start. He has a good chance to get the Avs back in the win column tonight.
Varlamov allowed three goals on 32 shots in his last start. He has a solid matchup tomorrow vs. the Stars.
Varlamov was lit up for five goals on 32 shots vs. the Blackhawks. It has come to be expected that a goalie facing Chicago is a dangerous fantasy play, so hopefully you left him on your bench on Monday. He will be back between the pipes today with a much easier matchup vs. the Stars. However Varlamov is just 2-5-1 with a 3.10 GAA and .906 SV% in March, so start with caution.
Varlamov relieved J.S. Giguere in the Avalanche's last game, he gave up two goals on 12 shots. Varlamov has seen 712 shots this season which is fourth amongst NHL goalies and he has stopped 648 (.910 SV%) of them. He has seen a lot of rubber this season because the Avs are not great defensively. They will face the Blackhawks for the first time since they ended their long point streak tonight.
Varlamov allowed four goals on 31 shots vs. Edmonton in his last start. He will start tonight against a Minnesota team he is 0-1-0 against with a 4.10 GAA and .886 SV% against this season.
Varlamov has won two in a row vs. two tough opponents (Chicago and San Jose). He will be back between the pipes tonight vs. Edmonton who are also coming off of a win vs. Chicago.
Varlamov became the first goalie to beat the Blackhawks in regulation this season when the Avs beat them 6-2 on Friday. He is 1-1-1- with a 2.31 GAA and .921 SV% so far in March and will look to better those numbers tonight vs. San Jose. He has two starts vs. the Sharks already this season going 0-1-1 with a 3.43 GAA and .910 SV%.
Varlamov has lost four of his last five starts posting a 2.93 GAA and .904 SV%. He has the toughest matchup possible tonight against the Blackhawks, but they have to lose in regulation eventually... Could Varly be the one to do it? Erik Johnson is back tonight and Ryan O'Reilly has a few games under his belt now, why can't it be Colorado? That being said you would be rolling the dice if you start Varlamov tonight.
Varlamov is 6-8-3 with a 2.79 GAA and .910 SV% this season. He has a very tough matchup vs. the Blackhawks on Wednesday. I would look elsewhere.
Varlamov is 6-8-2 with a 2.84 GAA and .908 SV% this season.
With Giguere out on bereavement, Varlamov is the expected starter.
Varlamov played great stopping 39 of 41 shots he faced vs. San Jose on Tuesday but still lost in a shootout. He will face a weak Flames team tonight so he should make for a pretty good start. He sees a lot of rubber so his SV% will be good on most nights, it is his GAA that is worrisome.
Varlamov comes in having won two of his last five while posting a 3.31 GAA and .907 SV%. Colorado is 28th in the NHL at 7-8-2 so Varlamov is not a very good fantasy option. The Avalanche need the offense to be better, the defence to be better and Varly to be better if they're going to have any success.
Varlamov has won his last two starts, including a shutout against the Blues
Varlamov has not been good as of late. He has given up 19 goals in his last 5 starts, which has only resulted in one win. And even in the win he gave up five goals in a 6-5 win, where the Avalanche scored a goal on a horrible missed offside call. He doesn't have a good matchup tonight either as the Avs take on the Blues.
