Goalie Start
Varlamov led the Islanders onto the ice for warmups.

Varlamov stopped 37 of 40 shots (.925 SV%) his last time out in a winning effort over the New York Rangers. He has had a strong start to the season with a 3-2-0 record along with a .913 SV% and 2.93 GAA. He takes on the struggling Ottawa Senators who won their last time out vs. Philadelphia to snap a seven-game losing streak prior.
Varlamov missed his scheduled start on Friday due to an illness but will be available to serve as Ilya Sorokin's backup on Tuesday. Outside of a couple of tough outings, Varlamov has been pretty good recently, going 5-3-0 with a .922 SV% in his last eight games.
