Semyon Varlamov - Page 3 - NHL News & Rumors

Exits ice first Thursday Varlamov was the first goalie off the ice Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating he'll be in goal on the road versus Ottawa.

Impact Varlamov has managed just one win in his five appearances this season, posting a 1-3-1 record to go with a 3.21 GAA and .876 save percentage. While the Isles don't have a back-to-back on the schedule until the end of November, the coaching staff seems to want to get Varlamov into the mix along with starter Ilya Sorokin and could still see a handful of opportunities.

Takes tough loss Wednesday Varlamov stopped 24 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to the Blue Jackets, with Columbus' last goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact He was locked in a scoreless tie with Elvis Merzlikins until early in the third period, when Damon Severson flipped a pass toward the front of the net that deflected past Varlamov off the skate of Ryan Pulock. The veteran netminder has had an up and down start to the season in a timeshare with Ilya Sorokin, and the Islanders' offensive struggles haven't helped -- Varlamov is 1-3-1 in five appearances with a 3.21 GAA and .876 save percentage.

Slated to start Wednesday Varlamov is slated to be between the pipes for Wednesday's road matchup against Columbus, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Varlamov struggled during his most recent outing, allowing five goals on 27 shots (.815 save percentage) to take the loss to the Panthers at home. Ilya Sorokin will draw the start for Tuesday's home game against Anaheim, but Varlamov will patrol the crease for the second half of the back-to-back.

Crumbles in loss vs. Florida Varmalov stopped 22 of 27 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers. The sixth goal was an empty-netter with 2:17 left in the third period.

Impact This was far from the outing Varlamov would've wanted after not starting in the last two games. The 36-year-old veteran gave up six unanswered goals, including three in the final period, and he's having a woeful start to the campaign. Through four outings, Varlamov has gone 1-2-1 with a 3.72 GAA and a .854 save percentage, and both marks represent career-worst figures for him. Expect Ilya Sorokin to return to the Isles' crease for a matchup against the Ducks on Tuesday.

Expected starter for Saturday Varlamov is slated to start on the road against Florida on Saturday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com on Friday.

Impact Varlamov has a 1-1-1 record, 3.26 GAA and .868 save percentage across three appearances in 2024-25. He'll be playing in the second half of a back-to-back after Ilya Sorokin gets the assignment in Friday's road clash versus the Devils. The Panthers are in a three-way tie for 18th offensively with 3.00 goals per game this season.

OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hangs on for shootout win Varlamov stopped 21 shots in regulation and overtime and seven of nine shootout attempts in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

Impact The veteran netminder wasn't too busy during the first 60 minutes, facing only three shots in the third period, but Varlamov earned his win in the shootout. He's gotten the nod in three of the Islanders' first five games, but his .868 save percentage keeps the door open for Ilya Sorokin to seize the starting job.

Facing Canadiens Varlamov will patrol the home crease Saturday versus Montreal, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Impact Varlamov has posted a record of 0-1-1 this season while stopping 45 of 52 shots. He went 1-2-0 in three outings against the Canadiens during the 2023-24 regular season, surrendering 10 goals on 80 shots.

Gives up two goals Saturday Varlamov allowed two goals on 26 shots in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Stars. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Varlamov has endured a rough start to the campaign, allowing seven goals on 52 shots while losing both times. Even though this performance was a step in the right direction compared to his rough home opener, this is far from the start fantasy managers would've hoped for when drafting Varlamov. The Isles' next game comes against the Avalanche on Monday as part of their three-game road trip.

Seguin scores twice, Oettinger stops 34 shots for 11th shutout in Stars' 3-0 win over Islanders

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • Associated Press

Expected to start Saturday Varlamov was the first goalie off Friday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports, indicating that he'll be in goal for Saturday's road matchup against Dallas.

Impact Varlamov struggled during Thursday's Opening Night matchup, turning aside just 21 of 26 shots in the overtime loss to Utah. However, the Islanders appear to be easing Ilya Sorokin into action early in the season after he underwent back surgery during the offseason, so Varlamov will have a chance to turn things around Saturday against the Stars.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rough outing in opener Varlamov allowed five goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss against Utah.

Impact Varlamov was far from perfect Thursday night, but the team in front of him didn't do him many favors. The 36-year-old is in his 17th season in the NHL, and he could be in for a big workload to start the campaign -- the Islanders will likely ease Ilya Sorokin into action after undergoing back surgery during the offseason. Varlamov posted a 14-8-4 record with a .918 save percentage and a 2.60 GAA in 28 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. The Russian netminder's next chance to rebound will be Saturday against the Stars.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • Associated Press

Named starter for Thursday Varlamov will start in the home crease for Thursday's Opening Night matchup against Utah, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Although Ilya Sorokin (back) has been cleared to return to action ahead of the regular season, Varlamov will get the start in the Islanders' regular-season opener. Varlamov appeared in 28 games last year and logged a 14-8-4 record, 2.60 GAA and .918 save percentage.

OCTOBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up two early goals Varlamov allowed two goals on 22 shots in Friday's 5-2 preseason win over the Rangers.

Impact Varlamov was unfortunate to give up the first goal to Jonny Brodzinski, as his save went up and deflected off his back to find the back of the net. However, he settled down after giving up two first-period goals and looked solid the rest of the way. The Russian netminder could be in line to start Opening Night at home versus Utah on Oct. 10 since Ilya Sorokin (back) has not seen any preseason action yet.

OCTOBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Facing Rangers Varlamov will be between the home pipes against the Rangers on Friday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Impact Coach Patrick Roy said the plan was for Varlamov to play the whole game Friday. The netminder could be in line to start Opening Night at home versus Utah on Oct. 10 as Ilya Sorokin (back) has not seen any preseason action. Varlamov was 14-8-4 with a 2.60 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 28 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

In goal Friday Varlamov will protect the home goal versus the Devils on Friday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact This will be Varlamov's second preseason start. Head coach Patrick Roy told Gross that Varlamov requested to have two preseason starts, so he may not see much additional action before the regular season begins. That could allow the Islanders to get a longer look at Marcus Hogberg, who is an option to fill the backup role if Ilya Sorokin (back) is not ready to begin the campaign.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Making preseason debut Varlamov will guard the road goal in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Rangers, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Varlamov can be expected to see a hearty amount of preseason action with Ilya Sorokin (back) rehabbing from surgery. Varlamov was more than capable last season with a 2.60 GAA and a .918 save percentage over 28 regular-season appearances.
