Varlamov allowed one goal on 34 shots in Colorado’s win over the Islanders on Thursday. Varlamov has won five consecutive games while posting a 0.99 and .969 SV%.

Varlamov will start Thursday vs. the Islanders.

Varlamov stopped all 29 shots that he faced in Colorado’s shutout win over Chicago on Tuesday. Another fantastic outing for the 27-year-old, who looks like a totally different goalie than he did in the first two months of the season. December comes into play on Thursday with a 5-1-0 record, 1.16 GAA and .964 SV% in December.

Varlamov will likely start again on Sunday.

Varlamov was outstanding last night, stopping 34 of 36 shots in Colorado’s win over the Predators. Don’t look now but Varlamov has won three of four while posting a 1.48 GAA and .952 SV%. Despite a heavy workload last night, head coach Patrick Roy said that Varlamov will “probably” play again tonight. If he does, he will be in tough with the Blues in town.

Varlamov starts Saturday in Nashville.

Varlamov stopped 19 of 20 shots in the Avs’ win over the Wild on Monday. He has won two of three while allowing just four goals on 88 shots (.955 SV%). Things appear to be turning around for Varlamov who had a rough two months to start the season. He draws a nice matchup against a Predators team that has lost three of his last five.

Schneider starts Tuesday in Toronto.

Schneider made 34 saves on 36 shots in the Devils defeat of the Panthers on Sunday. The win snapped a two-game losing streak for Schenider, who is 12-7-3 on the year. Schneider has played well this season, especially on the road, where he is 7-2-0 with a 2.19 GAA and .930 SV%. He makes for an excellent start against a Maple Leafs team that is tied for 27th in the NHL in scoring.

Varlamov allowed two goals on 43 shots in Colorado’s loss in Minnesota on Saturday. Since returning from injury, Varlamov has gone 3-3-0 with a 4.24 GAA and .912 SV%. Those numbers are still ugly, but his start on Saturday is promising. He gets a break tonight when he takes on the Wild again, but they’ll be without Devan Dubnyk tonight.

Schneider gets the call for the Devils on Sunday.

Schneider allowed four goals on 25 shots in the Devils loss to the Flyers on Friday. Schneider has lost four of his last five starts while posting a 2.34 GAA and .910 SV%. Tonight it looks like he will get the nod against a Panthers team that comes in having won five straight games.
